The left center. Behind the left fielder.
He drops the ball!
INITIATES COUNTERATTACK
To home base!
-Hong-ku!
-There you go.
THROW IT!
HONG-KU COULDN'T THROW THE BALL
He runs and throws the ball!

KEEP YOUR EYE ON BASE STEALING
CHOONGAM IS GOING
FOR CK MONSTER'S WEAK POINT
CONTINUES TO FAIL TO CATCH THE BALL
STEALS A BASE
STEALS ANOTHER BASE
CHOONGAM MANAGES TO MAKE A TIE
The score is four to four, a tie.
Rhee Dae-eun stands on the mound
as he faces the danger of losing the lead.
I MUST STOP THEM RIGHT HERE
The pitch flies out completely.
MONSTERS 4 : 5 CHOONGAM
THE BATTERY MATES HAVE FALLEN
The bases are full once again.
THE GAME DEPENDS ON THIS ONE PITCH
A WALK WITH BASES LOADED
ALLOWS ANOTHER RUN
The bottom of the 6th continues
for 22 minutes.
HOW WILL
THEY OVERCOME THIS CRISIS?
Here's how scary Choongam is.
They went in a round in this inning.
That means the first batter is at bat
the second time in the same inning.
And the bases are loaded.
2 OUTS WITH BASES LOADED
The inning is being dragged out.
A crisis for the Monsters.
THE 6TH BATTER,
HYEON-MIN IS UP NEXT
I couldn't allow any more runs.
I would be causing harm to my team.
I had nothing on my mind but to stop them.
Gosh, we're in trouble.
The Monsters have never lost to
a high school team before
-on A Clean Sweep.
-That's right.
In a sense, they might've felt
they were up against an easy opponent.
CAN DAE-EUN OVERCOME THIS CRISIS
-Ball.
-Gosh.
Take it easy.
If it's not in the center of the zone,
don't swing.
2ND PITCH
BALL
Hong-ku caught well.
That one was hard to catch.
He's not swinging.
He doesn't intend on swinging.
HE'S FRUSTRATED
-Is Soo-chang ready?
-I think so.
Let's switch if he fails here.
SHIM SOO-CHANG IS WARMING UP
IN THE BULLPEN
MONSTERS 4 : 6 CHOONGAM
You got this, Hyeon-min.
HE HITS!
Let's go.
HE CRIES OUT LOUD
-Behind!
-Behind you, Taek-keun.
It's flying to the center. Behind CF.
Behind the center fielder!
Run!
CHOONGAM RUNNERS ARE SPRINTING
AS FAST AS THEY CAN
He makes contact.
It's flying to the center.
Behind the center fielder!
He catches it!
Taek-keun manages to defend this inning.
HE SIGHS IN RELIEF
We would've lost if they all ran in.
WHAT A SHAME
The score is six to four.
CK Monsters aren't ahead anymore.
CK Monsters
are now chasing Choongam down.
Let's go into the seventh inning.
Today's game is not a joke.
Why are you so happy
when Monsters are losing?
I'm not happy.
I'm actually seriously devastated.
Are you sure? How can someone
so devastated smile like that?
I'm even sweating on the back, you know.
You know…
I have another stable source of income.
HIS TRUE COLORS
Guys, gather around.
We're pro players.
But it seems like we're more tense
than the high schoolers are.
Just relax.
If we lose,
we can just play again tomorrow.
We shouldn't play a game that we'd regret
because we're nervous.
Let's do our best and turn it around
in the next three innings.
Even if we can't, let's just try our best.
-Yes, sir!
-Come on in, guys.
-Bring it in.
-Bring it in.
-One, two, three
-Go!
-Okay!
-Go!
Yoon Yeong-cheol still takes the mound.
After the first out in the first inning,
he's been pitching against the CK Monsters
since then.
He's pitching again?
It's too early to tell,
but if he progresses and evolves,
I'm certain that we may be witnessing
Ryu Hyun-jin's high school days
as another name.
Yes. His boldness, technique,
and confidence. They're flawless.
CK Monsters is on offense, where they must
get two points to catch up.
This is the seventh inning,
with Jeong Keun-woo as the batter.
-He should start this inning off.
-That's right.
Hey, come on! You're the top, Keun-woo!
HE SIGHS
-Strike!
-Nice one!
STRIKE
THE BALL COUNT FAVORS YEONG-CHEOL
What a pitch.
WE MUST GET ON A BASE NO MATTER WHAT
Yeong-cheol is leading
the inning on the mound.
-He makes contact!
-Darn it!
FRUSTRATED
He makes contact!
But the shortstop catches it!
1 OUT
He catches the line drive.
A well-hit ball becomes an out
for the CK Monsters.
He hit two line drives today.
That's right.
That means
he was very unlucky in this game.
Darn it.
HE SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION
SEONG-HOON IS UP NEXT
He makes contact. It's a fly ball.
Behind the left fielder.
But this time, it couldn't go over.
Seong-hoon leaves the plate
with a fly ball.
TWO BATTERS ARE INSTANTLY OUT
They're thinking,
"How will I overcome this?"
Also, the Monsters have seen
the wide-ranged and skillful defense
by Choongam
since the beginning of this game.
It feels like they won't be able to score
unless it's a home run.
-Yes.
-Park Yong-taek is up.
Let's do this!
Go far! Let's defend the extra-base hit.
Think about the extra-base hit!
A DECISIVE HIT TO BRING
THE GAME BACK IS NEEDED
HE HITS!
-He makes contact with first base.
-Hurry up!
-First base.
-Okay!
-He fields the ball.
-Nice.
All the valid hits became
outs this inning.
THE INNING ENDS WITHOUT A RUN
YEONG-CHEOL, GREAT JOB
That's nice, he didn't pitch that much.
Okay. This is good.
Choongam's playstyle is a very scary one.
Manager Lee Young-bok made a solid team.
-Nice going, Yeong-cheol.
-Yes, sir.
-Feeling okay?
-I'm okay, sir.
That's good to hear.
Guys, stay focused. Smiling helps, right?
Our team has to smile to play well.
The smiling got us all the runs.
Look how good you all are.
Let's get some points
to finish up the game, okay?
-Yes, sir!
-Let's go.
-Nice!
-Let's go, Choongam!
THE UNSTOPPABLE CHOONGAM
I get why people watch baseball.
Now that I'm a fan of a certain team
and wish that they'd win,
I feel differently about it.
You're angry, right? Pretty pissed off?
Yes, I'm getting agitated.
This is the bottom of the seventh inning.
Choongam is on the offense.
Dae-eun takes the mound.
Soo-chang. You're up after one batter.
HE NODS
Lee Chung-heon is up first.
7TH BATTER, LEE CHUNG-HEON
Let's go, Chung-heon!
-Let's get on a base.
-You can do it.
-Nice!
-It's a ground ball.
The shortstop fields it.
To first base and out.
Dae-eun who came in
when the bases were empty.
He pitches an out
against the first hitter.
Timeout!
MANAGER LEE TAKES A TRIP
TO THE MOUND
-Dae-eun, you threw 27 pitches.
-Yes, sir.
Let's rest here
since we may play tomorrow.
-Yes, sir.
-Well done.
Manager Lee switches Dae-eun.
He threw 27 pitches.
Manager Lee decides to switch him out.
Good luck.
Dae-eun leaves the mound
with a stern face.
-Get ready for tomorrow.
-It's fine.
Today isn't the end, Dae-eun.
Your pitch had the best balance
against the last hitter.
You had less control before.
Your pitch was really good just now.
DISAPPOINTED
The last one was good.
-Good luck.
-Shim Soo-chang takes the mound.
I've been waiting for you for so long.
Good.
He takes the mound after 35 days.
Let's see how he does.
I thought, "I must end the inning quickly
with a minimum number of pitches."
The next up is Kim Min-seok as the DH.
Let's go, Min-seok!
CAN SOO-CHANG MANAGE
TO STOP THEM FROM SCORING?
Because they are behind by two points,
so Soo-chang must pitch well
and not allow any runs.
But…
But…
He allows a hit against the first batter.
Min-seok gets on a base.
-Three hits!
-Hat trick!
-Three hits.
-Nice.
Soo-chang,
you'll be taught a lesson today.
SOO-CHANG ALLOWS A HIT
AGAINST THE FIRST HITTER
Timeout.
HE'S WONDERING WHY
Pinch runner.
He's switching out runners.
He switches Min-seok out.
THE RUNNER SWITCHED
TO TARGET HONG-KU
I've prepared according to the opponent.
IM SANG-HYEOK IS ON FIRST
AS A PINCH RUNNER
Lee Seong-hyeon is up next.
The pinch runner,
Sang-hyeok, on the first base.
He seems fast.
And up against Hong-ku,
he might steal a base.
CAN HONG-KU STOP THE STEALING?
He's running for it!
He runs! And then to second base!
HE THROWS IT
That's the play. Let's go!
SAFE OR OUT?
He runs! And then to second base!
He slides in.
The ball bounced to second.
The runner is on second base.
What should we do with him?
Hong-ku's ability to throw the ball
and his decision-making led Choongam
to steal the base.
Darn it.
Soo-chang.
A bunt, third base.
I'll stay on third.
Let's make Seong-hyeon get on a base.
Darn it.
He's in a scoring position.
He has a chance to score.
He's going for third.
Soo-chang, he's getting ready.
Run!
-Again?
-He runs to third base! Third!
TRIES TO STEAL ANOTHER BASE TO 3RD
-Again?
-He runs to third base! Third!
He's safe on third!
Safe! What a slide!
-Let's go!
-He perfectly avoids Dong-wook's tag.
Nice dodge!
The pincher runner, Sang-hyeok,
steals the third base.
BATTERY ALLOWS HIM
TO STEAL TWO BASES
-I tagged him.
-He did!
What? No tag?
-I tagged him.
-No. You didn't tag him as he came in.
Hong-ku threw the ball well this time.
Let's see.
The twisted his body to avoid the tag.
He touched the base with his right hand
while pushing behind.
He even had his hand
as Dong-wook's glove left the base.
One out with a runner on third.
A HIT CAN RESULT IN A RUN
MANAGER LEE YOUNG-BOK
GIVES OUT ORDERS
THEY RECEIVE THE ORDER
Dong-wook!
GET READY FOR A SQUEEZE PLAY
He's going to bunt, even at one out.
A DEFENSIVE SHIFT FOR INFIELDERS
Lee Seong-hyeon gets ready for a bunt.
Accurately.
Third and first are both dashing in.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
Soo-chang, who used to be
the starting pitcher of Monsters.
WALK ON BALLS
He allows a walk.
HE LETS THE BATTER WALK
Now it's one out
with runners on first and third.
Now it's essential for the defense
to play perfectly.
Keun-woo!
MANAGER LEE TELLS HIM
TO COME FORWARD
Don't go in if they try to steal the base.
-Just let them steal?
-Yes.
Can't tag them out anyway.
They're letting them take second.
-They can't catch it right now.
-Yes. Because he can't throw.
And it's threatening
when Im Jun-ha is batting.
-That's right.
-And he's up.
A three for four today and an error.
I trust you!
He PAs today all resulted in him
on first base.
-Let's go!
-You got this, Jun-ha.
The runner goes to second.
-He's here.
-He's safely on second.
-The infielders were positioned closer.
-Right.
You wouldn't think about
throwing the ball to them.
That's right. There are two runners
in scoring positions.
The runners are on second and third.
We can't allow this.
HE'S WORRIED THAT THEY'D SCORE
The pitch was very inside.
A HIT-BY-PITCH IS MORE PAINFUL
IN A CRISIS LIKE THIS
Im Jun-ha was hit by a pitch.
So Choongam takes the empty first base.
He pitched overhand,
but his control was off.
Shim Soo-chang usually has good control
when he pitches sidearm.
But unfortunately,
it didn't work out here.
Now the base is loaded with one out.
I'll stop them. I can do it.
-I can do it.
-Number eight?
I can stop them.
-They'll keep hitting if you let them.
-Got it. I'll stop them.
-Take the mound, Soo-chang.
-I'll stop them.
I'll do it.
I was terrified. I couldn't breathe.
-Guk-il!
-A pinch hitter.
They brought in the pinch hitter,
Lee Guk-il.
Seong-hyeon wasn't confident today
in this situation,
so although it is a bold move,
he chose to use a substitute.
You got this!
Manager Lee Young-bok is ruthless.
A BOLD MOVE BY MANAGER LEE YOUNG-BOK
I can feel the energy sinking down
as if we're about to lose.
-I agree.
-Right?
I'm worried about tomorrow
if we lose today.
Indeed.
CAN SOO-CHANG TURN
THE GAME AROUND?
BALL
-The first pitch is a ball.
-Nice!
Nice!
The Monsters are flustered on the mound.
Lee Guk-il is still up.
MONSTERS 4 : 6 CHOONGAM
A pitch that bounces.
This is what Shim Soo-chang
has to consider right now.
He's the last pitcher.
JANG WON-SAM, CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
PITCHED 1ST AND 2ND
SONG SEUNG-JUN, CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
PITCHED 2ND TO 6TH
Darn, what do we do?
RHEE DAE-EUN, CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
PITCHED 6TH AND 7TH
YOO HEE-KWAN, CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
WILL PITCH TOMORROW
He's the last one.
There is no one else left.
He has to wrap this game up.
MONSTERS 4 : 6 CHOONGAM
He makes contact! Third base!
THE BALL BOUNCES OFF
DONG-WOOK'S GLOVES
HITTING THE WALL
-He makes contact! Third base misses!
-Run!
Third and second baserunners
manage to step onto the home plate.
HYUN-IN RUNS TO FIELD THE BALL
-Come on, run!
-Behind!
Behind!
Behind!
HYUN-IN'S THROWING ERROR
To home base!
While the ball is rolling away,
first baserunner comes around
and hits the home base.
The loopholes in the Monsters' defense
is getting bigger and bigger.
Choongam is proving their skill
as a high school team in Korea.
CHOONGAM PROVES THE ABILITY
OF A HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM
Good job, Guk-il.
-Great job.
-Let's go!
I can't believe
the plays the Monsters made
even though I saw them with my own eyes.
It was a fast line drive.
Dong-wook tried to stop it,
but it wasn't enough.
And the play after.
Hyun-in tried to throw quickly.
But he failed.
THE MONSTERS COMPLETELY LOST
THEIR WILL TO PLAY
What doesn't work, doesn't work.
Defense is the basics of baseball.
An error during the defense
completely shatters
the will of the team to play the game.
The score is nine to four.
If the third baserunner comes home,
it'd be a six-point difference.
Shim Soo-chang is on the mound,
but he couldn't pitch a single out.
Goodness, this is so tough.
He's up against Woo Seung-won now.
WOO SEUNG-WON, THE 3RD HITTER, IS UP
A HIT WOULD RESULT IN A RUN
Woo Seung-won!
FOUL
THAT SURPRISED ME
A sharp swing. But a foul.
-Choongam is confident now.
-Totally.
They're swinging relentlessly.
Great job. You're doing great.
Go! Seung-won!
Second pitch is a strike.
A BALL COUNT THAT FINALLY FAVORS HIM
-Nice!
-Good!
GREAT JOB
The team's will to play is low right now,
so Soo-chang should pitch a strikeout.
He needs to pitch a strike
with confidence.
-Come on!
-You got this.
When you're in this situation,
pitching breaking balls
doesn't cross your mind, right?
In a time of crisis on the mound,
you're bound to throw pitches
you're most confident with.
WHAT KIND OF PITCH
DID HE CHOOSE TO THROW?
Swing and miss! Strikeout!
Swing and miss! Strikeout!
-Okay!
-Soo-chang.
This is his first time pitching an out.
Great job!
NICE SOO-CHANG
Soo-chang must pitch
all the way to the end today.
-Next up is Dong-heon.
-Dong-heon!
WHAT KIND OF PITCH
WILL HE THROW THIS TIME?
FOUL
PITCHING FORM CHANGED?
-Nice job.
-This is good.
He pitched like it's underhand.
Soo-chang has
a good balance as a sidearm pitcher.
Right. He's going against Choongam
with a different pitching style.
-Dong-heon!
-Soo-chang.
It's a foul ball.
Nice!
The foul ball went back.
Nice pitching.
Good job. Swing just like that.
MONSTERS 4 : 9 CHOONGAM
-Strike!
-It's inside. Strikeout looking!
-Strike!
-It's inside. Strikeout looking!
A tough inning for Shim Soo-chang.
He manages to strike out Kim Dong-heon
and stops them from scoring.
Then he comes down the mound.
But the score is nine to four.
A five-point difference for the Monsters.
I mean…
That first game improved them.
Yoon Yeong-cheol is back up again.
TOP OF THE 8TH INNING
MONSTERS 4 : 9 CHOONGAM
YEONG-CHEOL STILL TAKES THE MOUND
SINCE THE 1ST INNING
-How many pitches did he throw?
-It's 95 pitches.
NUMBER OF PITCHES: 95
BALL: 32
PITCHED 7 STRIKEOUTS
If you throw 105 pitches,
you can't throw for 4 days, right?
So you have to rest for four days?
He can't pitch tomorrow.
CK Monsters. It's nine to four.
Their hitting starts with them
five points behind.
First up is Jung Eui-yoon.
What kind of offense
and what kind of baseball
will the Monsters show us
the rest of the game?
STRIKE
CONTEMPLATING
SWING AND MISS
STRIKE
2 BREAKING BALLS FOOLED EUI-YOON
This is annoying.
He's pitching a slow breaking ball.
Just as the Monsters pitched
against the high schoolers,
Yeong-cheol is going against them
in the same way.
That's right, it's exactly the same
now that I think about it.
BUT I MUST GET ON BASE
WILL YEONG-CHEOL
THROW A DECISIVE PITCH RIGHT AWAY?
Swing and miss!
Swing and miss! Strikeout!
A high fastball leads
to another strikeout.
This is the eighth strikeout
Yeong-cheol pitched today.
I just felt Hee-kwan's style of pitching
from the pitching just now.
I agree.
FIRST BREAKING BALL
SECOND BREAKING BALL
LAST PITCH WAS A HIGH FASTBALL
-Taek-keun is up next.
-We have to get on a base!
-Strike!
-Nice pitch!
First pitch is a strike.
Gosh, that's a hell of a pitch!
What kind of pitcher
would he become in the future?
A SLOWER BREAKING BALL
FOUL
Look at that.
That was 106km/h, a slow breaking ball
that took away the hitter's timing.
The players made improvements
-to their baseball in just 49 days.
-Right.
The pitcher is on another level now.
MONSTERS 4 : 9 CHOONGAM
WILL HE GET ON A BASE
OR WILL HE STOP HIM
SWING AND MISS
STRIKEOUT
Swing and miss! Strikeout!
Swing and miss! Strikeout!
THAT WAS NUTS, YOON YEONG-CHEOL
Two strikeouts in a row!
THE MONSTROUS PITCHER'S
STRIKEOUT SHOW
YOON YEONG-CHEOL TOOK THE MOUND
ON LOADED BASES IN THE 1ST INNING
A point now is critical.
1ST INNING STRIKEOUT

YEONG-CHEOL RESCUES THE TEAM
IN A CRISIS
4TH INNING STRIKEOUT

6TH INNING STRIKEOUT
7TH INNING STRIKEOUT
8TH INNING STRIKEOUT
8TH INNING STRIKEOUT
Yeong-cheol pitches his ninth strikeout.
This is the number one
high school southpaw pitcher.
Now that I came this far,
can I just pitch to the end?
Timeout!
We're changing pitchers.
Manager Lee Young-bok
makes his trip to the mound.
-Yeong-cheol, well done today.
-Thank you.
-Your pitches are amazing today.
-Thank you.
Gosh, Yeong-cheol.
-Good pitching.
-Thank you, sir.
-You may rest.
-Yes, sir.
He doesn't want to come down,
but the manager switches him out here.
-That was insane, Yeong-cheol.
-Well done.
He threw 105 pitches.
AFTER PITCHING 7 1/3 INNINGS,
HE COMES DOWN THE MOUND
Since the first inning to two outs
in the eighth inning.
Great job.
He deserves a big round of applause.
He leaves the mound with the curtain call.
Yoon Yeong-cheol, the ace of Choongam.
A WELL-DESERVED APPLAUSE
How did a high school pitcher learn
how to change timings in a single game?
-He must be Lee Tae-yeon.
-I think so.
Eighth inning with two outs.
Lee Tae-yeon takes the mound.
He didn't play the first game
due to his back injury.
He returned after going through rehab.
What if we get seven points here?
We have a chance when the pitcher changes.
He's against Seo Dong-wook.
CAN DONG-WOOK GRAB THIS CHANCE?
We saw Yoon Yeong-cheol, the ace, play.
Kim Dong-heon, the catcher, said
"if you look at velocity and movement,
-the best pitcher is Lee Tae-yeon."
-I see.
-I'm looking forward to his pitches.
-Right.
Pitcher Lee Tae-yeon.
HOW WILL HIS PITCHES BE?
-Swing and miss! Strikeout!
-Nice!
-Swing and miss! Strikeout!
-Nice!
Goodness.
MONSTERS COULDN'T
OVERCOME CHOONGAM
Nice pitch, Tae-yeon.
Yoon Yeong-cheol and Lee Tae-yeon.
A collaboration
to pitch three up and three down.
All the batters were struck out.
Choongam's mound is hard to overcome.
ONLY 1 INNING REMAINING
I can't watch it anymore.
It makes me angry.
Well done!
A GAME NOT WORKING OUT
TO PLAYERS NOT AT THEIR FULLEST
Come on, let's make this happen.
THEY'RE MORE DESPERATE THIS INNING
Let's all smile and score one more run.
So that we can do well
in tomorrow's game. Got it?
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Go play.
Let's go!
CHOONGAM IS PLANNING
TO GO AHEAD MORE
This is the bottom of the eighth.
The inning starts with Choongam
on the offense.
BOTTOM OF THE 8TH INNING
MONSTERS 4 : 9 CHOONGAM
LEE HONG-KU
On the mound is Shim Soo-chang.
Soo-chang must at least finish
pitching the eighth inning.
There's nothing I could do.
By any means, I wanted
to finish up the inning
as fast as possible.
Finish the inning as fast as I can.
Hyun-in.
WHAT HE MUST DO FOR MONSTERS
IS TO PITCH AN IMMACULATE INNING
Park Chae-ul is up next.
You can do it!
THE 5TH BATTER PARK CHAE-UL
In this situation, he must pitch a strike
and get a sense of the game.
I'M GOING TO PITCH A STRIKE
NO MATTER WHAT
Darn it.
The first pitch hits.
HE HITS!
The ball goes through the center.
Come on.
Choongam's offense starts
with Park Chae-ul's hit.
HIS LIPS ARE GETTING DRIED UP
LET'S RUN AHEAD OF THEM
HE SIGHS
No outs with a runner on first.
NO OUTS WITH RUNNER ON 1ST
Batting on the sixth spot, Cho Hyeon-min.
THE 6TH BATTER, CHO HYEON-MIN
-He's running!
-Strike!
-He's running.
-The runner is stealing the base!
-Strike!
-He's stealing again.
On second base, he's safe!
SAFE
THE BATTERY ALLOWED THEIR BASE
TO GET STOLEN AGAIN
HE MOANS IN FRUSTRATION
A hit and a stolen base.
No outs, runner on second.
NO OUTS WITH RUNNER ON 2ND
MANAGER YOUNG-BOK CALLS HIM
HE SIGNALS SOMETHING
TO CHO HYEON-MIN
Choongam is literally stirring the game up
on the plate and the ground.
He's going for a bunt?
SURPRISE BUNT
THE FIELDERS ARE SURPRISED
BY THE SURPRISE BUNT
SIGHING
-Come on!
-You got this!
Today, Choongam is drawing out
balls through bunts,
and when the ball is in the zone,
they make contact.
They're playing that kind of baseball.
Monsters shouldn't be confused
by this kind of play.
But when you see a hitter going
for a bunt, it catches you off guard.
-Go!
-You can do this!
You can do this!
TWO AND ONE
GOING FOR A BUNT
THREE AND ONE
GOING FOR A BUNT
-Come on!
-You got this!
They were going for bunts,
so I was like,
"I have to pitch a strike. I have to."
That's what I thought.
I HAVE TO PITCH A STRIKE…
I HAVE TO…
What a difficult play to deal with.
THE COUNT SUDDENLY FAVORS THE HITTER
HE HITS!
He makes contact through the 5-6 hole.
Run quickly!
The ball fell short,
so the runner couldn't come home.
Right.
CHOONGAM DOESN'T KNOW
WHEN TO STOP SWINGING
-Nice, good!
-Great!
A good hit!
The two hitters both hit the ball.
ANOTHER CRISIS OF ALLOWING RUNS
There are runners on first and third.
No outs.
NO OUTS
WITH RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 3RD
Lee Chung-heon is up next.
THE 7TH BATTER
LEE CHUNG-HEON
Let's go, Chung-heon!
I MUST STOP THIS ATTACK
-Run!
-Strike!
STEALING BASES AGAIN!
-Run!
-Strike!
STEALING AGAIN?
Goodness sake, what do we do?
First baserunner goes to second.
He didn't even look back.
THIS IS HELPLESS
How many times did they steal?
HOW MANY TIMES DID THEY STEAL?
It's a five-point difference,
and he hasn't pitched an out.
THE 8TH TIME THEY FAILED
TO STOP THE RUNNERS FROM STEALING
NO OUTS
WITH RUNNERS ON 2ND AND 3RD
They made a defensive shift.
You can hit this!
Hyun-in.
COME FORWARD
THE INFIELDERS ARE SHIFTING TOWARDS
THE HOME PLATE
I CANNOT ALLOW A SINGLE POINT
He makes contact!
HE SPRINTS
Run quickly!
He makes contact!
The ball rolls away next to the shortstop.
Two runners came home.
They returned home with no sweat.
A RUTHLESS RBI SINGLE FOR CHUNG-HEON
HE'S DEVASTATED
What the heck was that?
They score two more runs.
The score is 11 to 4.
NO OUTS WITH RUNNER ON 1ST
With a ten-point difference,
-the mercy rule is applied.
-They might lose with a mercy rule.
That's why Shim Soo-chang
must defend the inning no matter what.
They might be losing to a high school team
for the first time,
but it may also be a called game.
Well. That's won't happen.
THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE FOR HIM
This is how tight their situation
is right now.
MONSTERS MAY FACE HUMILIATION
There's a game tomorrow,
so let's make the mercy rule happen.
This is a big blow to our pride.
Soo-chang is probably darn frustrated.
I'm about to burst with frustration too.
THE MERCY RULE IS
RIGHT BEFORE THEIR EYES
Because I couldn't throw well…
I think
that's why it led to this situation.
Hong-ku, just throw with confidence!
Throw it!
-No!
-Behind you!
Im Sang-hyeok is up next.
THE 8TH BATTER, IM SANG-HYEOK
He drops the ball.
FIRST BASE RUNNER STEALS A BASE
-Throw it!
-No!
Keep running!
The runner runs past second
and goes for third.
Third!
To third base!
He steps on the plate on third base.
GETS ON THIRD BASE
DUE TO CATCHING FAILURE
I was furious at myself.
Honestly, it doesn't make sense.
Goodness. Darn. This is not good.
No outs with a runner on third.
Hey. What are you doing?
What the hell are you doing?
You know they're ahead
by seven points, right?
What do we do with Hong-ku?
He's in big trouble today.
THROWING, CATCHING
HONG-KU IS IN A TIGHT SPOT
Silence has filled the Gocheok Sky Dome.
3 POINTS UNTIL THE MERCY RULE
I CANNOT DARE TO MAKE
ANOTHER MISTAKE
HE HITS!
The ball skips off the bat.
Second.
1 OUT
Second base catches it. One out.
Soo-chang pitches
his first out of the inning.
We got this.
This is good!
He needs to pitch
so they won't score any runs.
1 OUT WITH A RUNNER ON 3RD
Lee Seong-hyeon is up next.
Threw 40 pitches right now.
Try to finish within 50.
BALL
The ball was in and high.
You must have good command.
HE STILL DOESN'T HAVE GOOD COMMAND
OVER HIS PITCHES
I couldn't pitch for long today.
I COULDN'T PITCH FOR LONG TODAY
I should've pitched more innings.
I felt really bad for Soo-chang.
A TOUGH FIGHT ON THE MOUND
THE SCORE DIFFERENCE
FEELS BIGGER AND WIDER
He makes contact. Third base!
The ball hits the glove!
Come on! Come home quickly!
PLEASE, LET IT BE OUT
Third baserunner, to home plate!
He comes home. Another RBI single.
HE'S SIGHING
I made errors that shifted
the momentum to them.
I think the game was up in the air
because of me.
Now, it's 12 to 4. An 8-point difference.
A BIGGER SCORE DIFFERENCE
1 OUT WITH A RUNNER ON 1ST
The first pitcher, Im Jun-ha, is up.
When he made PA, he went on a base today.
If he gets on a base,
and he comes home,
the game is finished there.
Only two runs
until the mercy rule is applied.
2 POINTS UNTIL THE MERCY RULE
Jun-ha, swing with confidence.
HE'S LOOKING CONFIDENT AND CALM
I MUST PITCH AN OUT NO MATTER WHAT
He pops it up! Left center.
He pops it up! Left center.
A clean landing in the left center.
HE'S SIGHING
There you go!
Four hits, wow.
HE BREATHS IN UNHAPPILY
Two runners on bases.
Im Jun-ha manages to get on a base again.
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL ROUND
FOR CHOONGAM
Darn! Another hit?
-Darn, that's a lot of hits today.
-Seriously?
Hey!
Now…
1 OUT WITH RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND
This is really serious now.
An extra-base hit is all they need.
The DH is gone.
It's now Lee Tae-yeon's turn to hit.
STILL TWO MORE OUTS
BEFORE THE INNING ENDS
I MUST PITCH AN OUT BY ANY MEANS
Go get them, Soo-chang!
FIRST PITCH
BALL
SOO-CHANG'S COMMAND
CONTINUES TO BE UNSTABLE
Let's take this to the end.
Soo-chang! You got this!
Come on!
-Strike!
-Outside. It's a strike.
MUSTERED ALL HIS STRENGTH
TO THROW A POWERFUL PITCH
-Go, Soo-chang!
-Let's go!
Nice pitch!
HE HITS!
He makes contact with the end of his bat.
Come on, run!
Two outs. He tags the lead runner out.
While that happened,
the runners went on first and third.
I feel bad for Soo-chang.
-He must pitch an out.
-That's right.
RUNNER IN SCORING POSITION
ANOTHER CRISIS
Woo Seung-won is up next.
-Let's finish this up, Soo-chang!
-Come on!
He makes contact.
OH, NO
The ball drops near the center fielder.
The third baserunner scores a run.
We'll lose with another run.
My mind went blank.
SIM SOO-CHANG
1 RUN BEFORE THE MERCY RULE
I had a mental breakdown.
This cannot happen.
THE MERCY RULE IS
AT THEIR FRONT DOOR
Let's all cheer up!
Can the next hitter swing
against the Monsters
for the mercy game
to give them the humiliation?
That is up to Kim Dong-heon,
the fourth hitter.
CK MONSTERS ARE
GOING AGAINST THE BEST
Dong-heon has nothing today.
Swing a big one for me.
Dong-wook!
Cover the lines. Seong-hoon, you too.
Come closer.
THE INFIELDERS ARE GETTING READY
FOR AN EXTRA-BASE HIT
THE FINAL MOVE
TO STOP THE MERCY RULE FROM APPLYING
I WILL STOP THEM NO MATTER WHAT
A HIT-BY-PITCH
It's a hit-by-pitch.
HE'S FLUSTERED
Another hit-by-pitch.
Kim Dong-heon gets on a base.
The bases are loaded now.
He cannot allow a walk or a hit-by-pitch.
Unimaginable plays
are being made continuously.
The game…
THE GAME IS EITHER OVER
…is over this inning,
or goes onto the next inning.
It's either one of those.
Park Chae-ul, the fifth batter, is up.
THE ONE WHO IS TRYING
TO FINISH THE STORY
Chae-ul, let's finish this up.
Who is the fifth hitter? Park Chae-ul…
Next.
A THREE HUNDRED BATTER
Seong-hoon.
Let's get back to normal formation.
Watch out for a Texas Leaguer.
WATCH OUT FOR A TEXAS LEAGUER
That's good enough.
FIELDERS GET BACK TO THEIR POSITIONS
I thought that I should make an out
by any means.
A BATTLE THAT HE WISHES
WOULD NOT BE FINAL
Don't give up!
DON'T GIVE UP!
THERE IS SO SUCH THING
AS GIVING UP FOR ME
-Goodness.
-Gosh.
Gosh.
HE DROPS THE BALL
The ball bounces! He drops it!
The runner comes home!
-Good game.
-Okay!
The shocking second loss
of the CK Monsters
is due to the mercy rule.
Darn.
Is that a called game?
A CALLED GAME?
This isn't the ending we wanted.
This ending is wrong.
HE IS SAD AND DISAPPOINTED
Wow. This is…
THEY CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED
I couldn't even show what I had.
That shouldn't have happened.
It shouldn't have.
Goodness.
AN UNIMAGINABLE LOSS BY MERCY RULE
If the game ends like this…
-Let's go shake hands.
-We should. Let's go.
-Let's go shake hands.
-If it ends like this…
DISHEARTENED
THE LOSS MADE BY EVERYONE'S ERRORS
Today's game was…
AND THE CLOSING PITCHER,
SHIM SOO-CHANG
THE MOUND WAS SO TOUGH
THAT HIS WHOLE-BODY TREMBLES
Well done.
Well done.
Good job.
I feel like a sinner.
In the end, I disheartened
and let my team down.
That's why I felt horrible.
I felt as if what I did jeopardized
the other eight players.
TEARS ARE DROPPING BECAUSE
HE FEELS BAD FOR HIS TEAMMATES
Seriously. Why am I crying?
WHY AM I CRYING?
I'm speechless.
I'M SPEECHLESS
TO BLAME SOMEONE ISN'T RIGHT
AS EVERYONE WAS AT FAULT
Well done.
-Good game.
-Good game.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-What a great team.
-I think you went easy on us.
As each year goes by,
I can feel my instincts
gradually slowing down.
I CAN FEEL MY INSTINCTS
GRADUALLY SLOWING DOWN
"Regretful" isn't enough
to express my feelings.
I don't think I can sleep tonight.
AS THEY WON THEIR WHOLE LIFE
THEY ALSO LOST COUNTLESS TIMES
Honestly, I was annoyed.
I WAS ANNOYED
-Go!
-Let's go!
A LOSS IS ALWAYS
PAINFUL TO THE BONE
MONSTER'S SECOND LOSS
BASEBALL
IS FUN
ONLY WHEN WE WIN
In a match
against the Monsters in 49 days,
Choongam manages to win by the mercy rule.
The first consecutive match
of the Monsters.
It will be the third game with Choongam.
-That's right.
-Today's commentary will end here.
Today was joined by commentator
Kim Sun-woo and myself, Jeong Yong-geom.
Thank you to everyone who joined us today.
THEY ARE LEAVING THE DUGOUT
IN SILENCE
AND MANAGER LEE IS ON ONE SIDE
AN UNIMAGINABLE CALLED GAME
I CANNOT LET THIS BE
WHAT WILL MANAGER LEE DECIDE TO DO?
THE LOSS WEIGHS DOWN ON ALL OF THEM
THE LOSS WEIGHS DOWN ON ALL OF THEM
-Good game.
-Good game.
-Good game.
-Gosh.
SILENCE COMES DOWN
INTO THE LOCKER ROOM
Beyond all the seriousness,
we were all out of it.
We were all…
It definitely feels different
from the loss against Dong-eui.
I was mad back then, but now I'm furious.
The word "humiliation"
even comes to my mind.
A HUMILIATING MATCH
THAT MADE HIM FURIOUS
I think this is the first time
I've lost a game by mercy rule.
The fact that we lost the game
by mercy rule is embarrassing.
We used to be professional players.
We were belittled.
It felt like we were the high schoolers
and the Choongam High School players
were the professionals.
THE SHOCK OF THE LOSS BY MERCY RULE
IS DIFFICULT TO SHAKE OFF
I was always looking forward to a game,
and I've always had an expectation.
But when today's game was over,
I was worried about
how we should play tomorrow's game.
AS A MANAGER, HE IS AT A LOSS
Jun-ho's absence feels greater now.
Rhee Dae-eun and Song Seung-jun
already pitched.
Shim Soo-chang went beyond his limits.
Jang Won-sam obviously cannot pitch.
So I thought,
"How are we going to play this tomorrow?"
HIS CONTEMPLATION GROWS DEEPER
Come in.
Taek-keun, come here.
MANAGER LEE CALLED TAEK-KEUN
TO HIS ROOM
-Good game.
-Well done.
It was tough, right?
-Switching catchers?
-What do you think about it?
You've been a catcher for a long time.
Yes, I've only been a catcher.
But why did you quit?
To play baseball.
I wanted to be on the field.
Kim Dong-soo was released from LG
and joined my team.
But he was at this prime
for the fifth time.
I see.
-He even got a golden glove award.
-I see.
So I had to become an outfielder.
HE TOOK OFF HIS CATCHER'S MASK
FOR THAT REASON
-I'll give it a try.
-You think you can do it?
I have to.
We lost today, and if we lose tomorrow…
Is it possible to practice today,
right now?
Of course.
Then I'll practice a bit today.
-I think it'll be fine.
-Please get ready then.
Can we practice outside right now?
Can you please ask if it's possible? Okay.
-You may go.
-Thank you, sir.
-Call Hong-ku.
-Hong-ku?
I'm going to change some things up
for tomorrow.
This is for the team's victory,
and also for Hong-ku's confidence,
I took the route that went around
instead of facing it head-on.
For tomorrow,
-try to get ready to be the first baseman.
-Yes.
-Let's practice a bit together.
-Right.
When you're on first,
you can focus more on the batted ball…
Honestly,
high schoolers can't throw a ball.
But when they shout, "Run, run!"
It's a blow to your ego, right?
You have to overcome it.
There's no other way.
You have to get the better of it.
MANAGER LEE IS GIVING HONG-KU
TIME TO OVERCOME IT
You can do this.
-You may go.
-Thank you, sir.
-Good job.
-Thank you.
Cheer up, okay?
Good game.
Good game.
-You heard from Manager Lee?
-Yes, I did.
I'll be the catcher.
I'll try to hold it out.
Just get ready for me.
Pass me the equipment.
-Right now?
-I have to practice.
-Gosh.
-Come on. Stop and give it to me.
-I'm sorry, Hong-ku.
-I couldn't help the team…
-You did a good job, Hong-ku.
-I'm so sorry.
It's sweaty.
How about swinging four hits
and two home runs tomorrow?
It's a big blow.
Because I threw badly…
That's why I'm so shaken up.
If I threw well and it was safe,
I would just admit the result.
But when I threw it so hopelessly…
That's what makes me furious.
ONE PERSON IS LOST IN HIS THOUGHTS
I was completely torn up.
ANOTHER WILD PITCH IN THE 6TH INNING
CONTINUOUS WILD PITCHES
I've never pitched a ball as wild as that.
-Another wild pitch this game.
-Why do you think that's happening?
I have no idea why.
When you first took the mound,
you pitched well.
I know. So I pitched the same way,
but the result wasn't.
-I see.
-Yes.
It doesn't make sense for a pitcher
to pitch the same area,
-but suddenly pitch so off.
-I know.
-I can't understand…
-This happened last time too.
It's been going on for several games.
You should think about…
-Maybe thinking wouldn't help.
-I know.
You don't know what's going on either.
I want to pitch my ball.
I want to pitch the same ball as before.
I think that will satisfy me.
-Good work, sir.
-Good work.
Good job, guys.
-Nice work, guys.
-Good job.
Good job, everyone.
First…
I'm embarrassed. Absolutely embarrassed.
When we first started this, I thought,
"Let's teach these amateurs
something about baseball,"
and, "We are playing this passionately
and well,
so feel the difference and acknowledge
that you are still not there."
This is what I wanted to indirectly show
to the high school athletes
through our plays.
But games like today's are unacceptable.
It was humiliating.
Today's athletic performance is hopeless.
We lost to Dong-eui once.
We beat them last time in the third game.
But we lost today.
The fact that we are losing faster
is a negative message to us.
I hope that I can see you all
stepping it up in tomorrow's game.
I don't want you to play a game
that would be embarrassing.
Anyway, good work.
And the producer wants to say something.
For tomorrow's game,
we've prepared a pitcher.
Looking at the current situation,
I think he has to play tomorrow.
He's here right now.
-Hello.
-Wow.
-Wow.
-Hello.
I chose the wrong day to come.
ONE CLUB MAN OH JU-WON
Nice to meet you.
WHAT A QUIET WELCOME
To make today better,
a current pro should've come.
WHY AM I HERE?
WE ARE HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HERE…
You should introduce yourself.
Nice to meet you.
I know today isn't the best day…
I hope I can contribute to the team.
They were in mourning.
When Shim Soo-chang first reached out,
he said, "You can just relax and pitch."
And then I came into the locker,
and he was brooding.
It looked like he was about to die.
And they were all disheartened.
So I thought, "What is this?"
So I got butterflies in my stomach.
I'll try my best.
Welcome!
The game is over and done.
So let's move on.
If there are those who want to practice,
come out into the field.
Those who need to relax may go home.
Bring the net quickly, we have no time.
Please.
LEE SEUNG-YUOP'S BATTING PRACTICE?
Manager Lee is batting with rage.
If a situation tougher than this comes,
I may end up playing…
MANAGER LEE SEUNG-YUOP
RETIRED BASEBALL PLAYER
Soo-sung, can you hit a fungo for me?
-A fungo?
-Yes.
HE CONTINUES TO DEFENSE TRAINING
MANAGER LEE WANTS TO WIN
MORE THAN ANYONE
I think each one of us must invest
their own times
to put more effort into practicing.
TAEK-KEUN WEARS A CATCHER'S MASK
AGAIN IN ABOUT 20 YEARS
Sit down. Sit inside.
That's too far in. That's enough.
EX MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYER'S
TEACHING MOMENT
There was something I regret as a player.
Darn it.
It's playing as a catcher.
It's my sore spot.
I have one thing in mind.
To play well as a catcher,
as I couldn't be one all this time.
Look at him go.
Taek-keun is geared up.
-What?
-He's geared up.
Manager Lee is practicing defense too.
Where's Hong-ku?
He's just sitting over there.
Seung-jun is taking care of him.
-What are you doing alone?
-What?
I feel like we lost because of me.
-My throw…
-Gosh. Hey.
There's no such thing. We all lost.
-I couldn't throw.
-It's okay.
When practicing, I threw well.
So I thought my throws will be fine today.
But when I threw it to another player,
and to the pitcher on the mound…
This is what I thought.
I thought too hard
about not throwing it down.
And if I use my wrist, I feel like
the ball is going to go straight down.
So back when I did PFP drills,
I threw the ball as powerful as I can,
and it went to their chest.
But when I hesitated
and thought that I shouldn't throw down
and threw softly, they all went down.
And the spin wasn't right either.
Even if I throw a wild ball,
just throw it powerfully.
Then you'll learn
that it's easier to throw that way.
That's how you gain your confidence back.
It's until eight.
So try throwing the ball. Come here.
Just throw it over me.
SPECIAL TRAINING STARTS NOW
Catch it. And throw it.
It's good. See?
I think you can correct this in a day.
-Sit back down.
-Catch.
Stand up and throw.
There you go.
You caught it. Don't throw softly.
Throw with power.
-I caught it.
-Pass it over.
See? Your throws are good.
You don't throw down.
Throw it back.
There you go. Nice.
It really doesn't drop down.
You have to do the gesture to the umpire.
-So you'd seem like a catcher.
-Oh, right.
And then throw it.
Good throw.
You caught it. I'll stand here.
There you go. And I pitched.
I'll stand here.
HIS THROWS ARE GAINING CONFIDENCE
Gosh, you're…
At least you're not throwing like this
like before.
Look how much you've improved.
You're already overcoming so much.
That's how you should think.
-Let's go home now.
-Yes, sir.
I'm exhausted.
That was…
Only the ones who experienced this
would relate.
He came to me and told me this
because he knew how I felt.
That's why it was so touching.
Because it was so honest.
The only way is to overcome it myself.
I have to change.
SEOUL
GOCHEOK SKY DOME
-Soo-hyun.
-Yes?
-Did you sleep well?
-Yes.
You were able to sleep?
-You could sleep?
-I thought you'd say that.
You really slept? Seriously.
-Hello.
-What about you, Hyun-in?
I couldn't sleep.
You couldn't?
You should've slept well for today's game.
TALKING GIBBERISH
TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD
Hello.
-Hello, everyone.
-Hello.
Good morning. You all look so bright.
-You shaved.
-Yes, I did.
This is a baseball player's routine.
-Shaved Taek.
-You shave when you're frustrated.
Same here.
I'm happy you guys are in a good mood.
HE SNIFFS
-Hello, sir.
-Hello, sir.
-What's with the bat?
-I'm desperate.
-Hello, sir.
-Hello.
-Captain, did you sleep well?
-Yes, sir.
Yesterday…
What happened? Nothing happened, right?
Nothing happened.
HYPNOSIS FAILS
I'm glad you're all bright.
Move on from yesterday.
It's not an individual's error.
Everyone here, including me,
Hyun-in, and Soo-hyun, we all lost.
So I hope this loss doesn't trouble you.
This is all I have to say.
Let's win today's game.
Soo-sung will announce the lineup.
To change up the mood.
-Number one, Keun-woo.
-Yes.
-Second base.
-Okay.
-Soo-hyun, third base.
-Yes, sir.
-Yong-taek. Center.
-Yes, sir.
Okay.
I think it's been eight years.
About eight or nine years.
-Eui-yoon, left fielder.
-Yes, sir.
-Seong-hoon, DH.
-Yes, sir.
Taek-keun, catcher.
-Dong-wook, right-fielder.
-Okay.
-Hong-ku, first.
-Yes, sir.
LOOKING FORWARD TO HONG-KU'S CHANGE
-Hyun-in, shortstop.
-Yes, sir.
And lastly,
the starting pitcher is Hee-kwan.
STARTING PITCHER, YOO HEE-KWAN
Ju-won,
Seung-jun, Dae-eun, and Soo-chang.
Today, we don't know who will pitch
in what situation.
So I want all the pitchers to be ready.
Let's win today. That's all.
LET'S WIN TODAY
All right.
2 HOURS BEFORE THE GAME STARTS
Good. It should pop up like that.
MONSTERS ARE BURNING
WITH THE URGE TO WIN
We must win no matter what.
Eye for an eye.
I'm much more nervous
than when I was a pro.
Nice pitch.
I'll leave my left arm here on the mound.
It's a relief you're here.
Catch it. Slowly.
-Catch it and throw it.
-Nice.
HONG-KU IS BURNING AS WELL
That was sick.
Just break through everything.
One, two.
There you go.
One, two.
Nice. Last one. One, two.
Soo-sung, are you done? Can you help me?
Yes?
THE MANAGER IS MORE PASSIONATE
THAN THE PLAYERS
We're only going to play to win.
Manager Lee is doing fungo drills.
-He did it yesterday too.
-Is he playing today?
Keun-woo, warm up.
MANAGER LEE IS ABOUT TO PLAY?
Look how accurate he is.
A shocking mercy rule loss.
Today, a win is needed to change the mood.
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the third game
of Choongam and CK Monsters.
I'm with Commentator Kim Sun-woo.
-Hello.
-Hello.
It was shocking yesterday.
The consecutive match
is starting off on a bad note.
The loss yesterday was caused
by a number of errors made by the players.
And the pitchers couldn't pitch
like they wanted to.
So the relief pitchers in the dugout
will watch the game under pressure.
I wanted to destroy everything red.
We lost by mercy rule.
We'll make it the same for them.
We'll win no matter what.
I'll win with an immaculate pitch.
I'll return home cheerfully after winning.
THE TENSION LASTS UNTIL THE END
I'll play this game like this is my last.
I'll work together with my boys
to ensure a win.
Let's have fun.
Win or lose, today is the last game.
Like we're preparing for Cheongnyonggi.
Let's focus and do our best. Let's go.
A cheerful clap!
-Come on!
-Come on!
-Let's do this!
-Do this!
THEIR CHANT ECHOES
THROUGH THE STADIUM
I don't know about the other games,
but today's game is
the most important game in the world.
Let's play like
the third game against Dong-eui.
Let's stay focused.
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
This is Choongam's lineup.
Im Jun-ha, Lee Seon-u,
Woo Seung-won, Kim Dong-heon,
Park Chae-ul, Cho Hyeon-min,
Lee Chung-heon, Kim Min-seok,
and Lee Seong-hyeon.
The defense. The outfielders are
Jung Eui-yoon,
Park Yong-taek, and Seo Dong-wook.
And the infielders
are Choi Soo-hyun on third,
Ryu Hyun-in as shortstop,
Jeong Keun-woo on second,
and Lee Hong-ku on first.
And Lee Taek-keun is the catcher.
I'm so darn nervous.
The game starts with Choongam
on the offense.
Today's starting pitcher is Yoo Hee-kwan.
And what you have to keep an eye out for
in today's game is
Lee Taek-keun,
who is playing as a catcher.
It's his first time in 20 years.
Considering the team's circumstances,
Manager Lee had no choice
but to play Lee Taek-keun as the catcher
to win today's game.
I wonder if he would work well
with Yoo Hee-kwan.
That's right.
The third game starts off
with Im Jun-ha making his appearance.
From the last games, his BA is .556.
And Im Jun-ha showed great performance
in yesterday's game as well.
He runs, gets on bases, and even scores.
THE FIRST PITCH DECIDES
THE MOMENTUM OF THE GAME
He hits the first pitch!
-Again?
-It's a Texas Leaguer.
In the front.
He hits the first pitch!
It's a hit left center.
Im Jun-ha, the machine that gets on bases,
is still doing well.
THEY ARE TOO EASY
Nice swing, Jun-ha.
ARE YOU WATCHING, MANAGER LEE?
Good hit.
(HE CLENCHES HIS TEETH)
-Nice!
-Way to go!
How he handled the pitch was so great.
Look how he made contact with that sinker.
ABILITY TO MAKE CONTACT
A very accurate swing
that handled it well.
The outside sinkers are Hee-kwan's
main pitching strategy.
That's right.
Even if you know his pitch,
you can't get the timing right.
But Jun-ha manages to hit it.
No outs with a runner on first.
In yesterday's game, Lee Seon-u
made a hit on his first PA.
THE MANAGER IS SENDING SIGNALS AGAIN
Maybe a bunt?
HE'S UNEASY
He goes for a bunt on the first pitch.
AS EXPECTED, A BUNT
There you go.
HE BREATHS IN
Bunt again.
Texas Leaguer to a bunt.
The tension is filling up the air
in the stadium.
Hong-ku!
You have to go in a bit more for the bunt.
You have to cover the front.
-He's bunting!
-Okay!
It's a bunt!
Let's do this, Seon-u!
It's here!
A pickoff.
Look at him trying.
I think he'll go for another pick-off.
His pickoffs are quick. Be careful.
He's getting ready for a bunt.
COME ON IN!
-It's a fly ball.
-It's flying.
-It's a fly ball.
-It's flying.
He lets it bounce and catches it.
Out on first base.
Run to second!
Nice. One more!
Pass it to second.
It's a fly ball.
He lets it bounce and catches it.
Out on first base.
He's stranded. He's getting run down.
He dashes back to first.
He tags him out!
A PERFECT DOUBLE PLAY!
TAG OUT
IMPRESSED
This is who Yoo Hee-kwan is.
HEE-KWAN, NICE
In that split second,
Hee-kwan made a perfect choice.
As expected, Hee-kwan!
Wow, Hee-kwan.
This is what a pro is.
Nice job, Hee-kwan.
SPEECHLESS DUE TO AN INSANE PLAY
Wow.
-The ball flew, so he let it bounce once.
-Yes.
And he watched first, but he didn't go
to second. So he threw it to first.
And then it was a rundown.
What a play they made.
He made this happen smoothly.
CK Monster's focus in defense
is completely different from yesterday.
First hitter got a hit,
but Hee-kwan brought back the momentum
right away.
Nice job, Hong-ku!
Great job, Hong-ku.
-That's how you do it. Look good.
-Great.
Woo Seung-won is up next.
-Okay!
-Strike!
A low and inside pitch.
What I see in the beginning right now…
I mean, Hee-kwan has always been good.
But Taek-keun's framing is great.
It's the best.
IT'S THE EPITOME OF PERFECT
Watching the Monsters defend,
their eyes are telling me that
they're different today.
I'M COMING, TAEK-KEUN
-Strike!
-Nice!
CAN'T GET AN IDEA
OF THE TYPES OF PITCHES
One last out before the inning ends.
CHOONGAM 0 : 0 MONSTERS
Let's go! Seung-won!
Seung-won!
Swing and miss! Strikeout!
THERE WAS NO USE
HE'S FRUSTRATED
All he needed was three pitches.
He pitches a three-pitch strikeout
against Woo Seung-won.
The first inning is so easy like this.
This is great.
-Pitch well.
-Yes, sir.
Choongam's starting pitcher
is Lee Tae-yeon.
He showed himself in yesterday's game.
He's the pitcher that has
the best velocity and ball movement.
He makes short swings for pitch deception.
He closes his body
and the arm is behind his body,
so the hitters see his arm a bit later.
-It has a strong advantage.
-Yes.
He's an aggressive pitcher.
-He even made PA in yesterday's game.
-That's right.
It's the first hitter, let's focus!
After losing yesterday's game,
-Keun-woo said he was humiliated.
-Right.
-Choongam, let's go!
-Let's go!
-Choongam, let's go!
-Let's go!
First pitch curves in from the outside.
I looked at the ball and thought,
"What is this?"
The ball was hidden,
so I saw the ball late,
which made me a bit anxious.
Keun-woo looked at the first pitch.
This one curved from the outside,
but it's out of the zone.
Let's go!
Nice pitch! Good job.
He knows how much getting on a base
means for the team.
In the front!
He makes contact. A ground ball.
Shortstop fields the ball. To first base.
-He's out on first.
-Okay.
IT SEEMS WE'LL WIN TODAY TOO!
Great job.
A formidable opponent as expected.
The best high school team, Choongam.
He's up against Choi Soo-hyun,
the second hitter.
This is his first time playing
in a starting lineup on this team.
That's right. But Manager Lee
acknowledged his batting skills.
I think he'll be good.
There you go.
It skips off the bat. It's a fly ball.
The catcher, Dong-heon, catches the ball.
2 OUTS
You better stay on your toes.
THIS IS TOO EASY
This is driving me crazy. Damn it.
I'm getting pissed off.
HE'S GETTING FURIOUS
When our hitters thought
that the timing was right and swung,
the timing was slightly off
and they all missed.
So I thought today's game would be tough.
LEE TAE-YEON
PITCHES 6, BALL 3, STRIKES 3
The third hitter, Park Yong-taek, is up.
After the loss yesterday,
he came in today's game
with his mustache shaved.
-That's surprising.
-I know.
Let's go, Tae-yeon!
HE HITS RIGHT AWAY!
SPRINTING WITH ALL HIS MIGHT!
-Go!
-It brushes by the pitcher.
It's slow. Second baseman.
He throws to the first.
And the umpire decides
he's out at the first.
I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS
MANAGER LEE GOES OUT
-Safe.
-Instant replay.
-Right now…
-Safe.
WHAT?
A request for instant replay.
Park Yong-taek's hustle play.
He was very quick.
He stepped on the base first.
HE WAS FASTER!
He was right. The decision was overturned.
The captain's sprint.
CK Monsters finally go out after two outs.
And now, batter four,
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
It's a big one.
It's a strong one.
It's about time we see one.
FILLED WITH SPITE
He'll hit a big one.
WHAT'S WITH THE MOOD?
Park Yong-taek ran out after two outs.
Will Jung Eui-yoon maintain the momentum?
HE HITS!
It's a hit. It flies out sharply.
It flies out next to the third.
GOOD!
Park Yong-taek is at second.
Two singles after two outs.
CK Monsters are getting the runners out.
See? My gut feelings were right.
When I feel like he'll hit one, he does.
The Monsters are at two outs,
but the players aren't losing their focus.
Park Yong-taek's sprint
got them here right now.
-You're right.
-Yes.
Runners at second and first. Batter five.
Designated hitter, Jeong Seong-hoon.
If CK Monsters lose today,
their 70 percent win rate breaks.
Let's go. Come on, Seong-hoon.
Will batter five, Jeong Seong-hoon,
make the first point?
HE HITS!
It's a hit to the right.
The right fielder runs.
PLEASE
-I can't see it.
-It's far.
Go over.
Catch it!
To the right. The right fielder runs.
The right fielder catches.
IM JUN-HA'S DEFENSE MAKES 3 OUTS
Right before the fence,
Im Jun-ha steals another single.
THE DREAMS OF SCORING HAVE SHATTERED
The inning ends.
CK Monsters end the inning
without scoring.
-He is good.
-Yes.
-It bent out like this.
-The defense is great.
What a sound team.
THEY REALLY ARE A SOUND TEAM
It's now the top of the second.
Choongam High is batting.
Batter four is at bat,
Kim Dong-heon.
He was the most noticeable player
among Choongam High.
-It's Kim Dong-heon.
-Yes.
I was on the mound in that situation,
which means I must stop them.
I plan on striking out
three batters in a row.
Good.
The ball flies high.
CATCH IT… CATCH IT!
-Call!
-Call it out!
It's in the air of Gocheok Dome.
The shortstop catches it in the infield.
-Good.
-Very good.
No runner, one out.
He's up against batter five, Park Chae-ul.
He'll hit a big one.
How will he pitch?
Good.
He hits with the tip of the bat.
The shortstop catches.
Ryu Hyun-in throws it
exactly to the first.
ONLY ONE MORE OUT TO GO
Two outs.
Hee-kwan throws lots of change-ups,
so it often skips off the bat.
Not many hit in the dead center.
Even if they do, it won't go over.
They hit it, but it never goes past here.
Eui-yoon, you're too far away. Come here.
Dong-wook, come up.
(EVEN MORE?)
Okay. Keep that line.
THE CAPTAIN PULLS UP THE OUTFIELDERS
Batter six Cho Hyeon-min is at bat.
-He stood out on defense.
-Yes.
But his batting average is 0,375.
One out to go.
Hyeon-min.
It's a hit.
Man.
-It's a hit.
-It's a hit.
It flies up high.
-That's it!
-He did it.
It's going.
-It's far.
-Why are we so up forward?
Go. Keep going.
It flies up high.
The right fielder follows.
It drops, but he cannot catch it.
-Okay! Run faster!
-Okay! Go!
UNTIL 3RD BASE!
IMPOSSIBLE
He's at the second,
and he doesn't slow down.
Faster!
Go! Faster!
The hitter and runner, Cho Hyeon-min,
reaches the third safely.
Choongam High wants to win this game too.
THEY LET HIM COME TO THE 3RD
Why is our defense up there?
A triple after two outs.
Yoo Hee-kwan!
A TRIPLE AT 2 OUTS
Hyeon-min, good one.
Good job.
Great job, Hyeon-min.
We were too forward.
It's to cover the front.
If it goes out, it's a triple.
It's too forward.
FRUSTRATED
We were too forward.
Yes, it's too forward.
Dong-wook.
GO BACK FURTHER
MOVE THE DEFENSE
Dong-wook, you can come forward.
-The bench.
-Just take a hint.
THE ORDERS ARE DIFFERENT
Dong-wook, it's fine at two outs.
THE DEFENSE IS STILL FORWARD
WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
It's two outs,
but they can lose a point now.
A hit can cost them a point.
Cho Hyeon-min is on the third.
Batter seven, Lee Chung-heon is at bat.
RUNNER AT 3RD,
BATTER LEE CHUNG-HEON
Lee Taek-keun.
He blocks the ball that falls out.
PERFECT BLOCKING IN A TIME OF CRISIS
-Nice blocking.
-What was that?
That was an important block.
The runner is at third right now.
If it rolled out, they would've scored.
And he blocked the ball
and dropped it inside the box.
That could've been the best block
even in professional leagues.
TAEK-KEUN HELPED HEE-KWAN
Should I change this?
He's wasting his energy.
HEE-KWAN IS WASTING HIS ENERGY!
Two outs, runner at third.
He's already out of energy.
Yoo Hee-kwan is about to lose a point.
WILL HE OVERCOME THIS CRISIS?
IT'S ANOTHER HIT
Okay.
It's a hit to the right.
NO…
-He lost it.
-It's gone.
Okay.
It's a hit to the right.
Seo Dong-wook goes back.
He couldn't catch it!
HE COULDN'T CATCH IT AGAIN!
The runner at third scores.
-Run quickly!
-Run quickly!
He passes through the second again.
BUT THE BALL IS TOO FAR AWAY
To the third base. He makes it.
Choongam High scores first.
-Yes!
-Yes!
NICE, CHUNG-HEON
MONSTERS LOST ONE TOO EASILY
-They're too forward.
-The defense.
MONSTERS LOST ONE TOO EASILY
Why is the defense up forward?
WHY IS THE DEFENSE UP FORWARD?
Yes, you're too forward.
THE FIELDERS TURN INTO A CRISIS
You're too forward.
Let's go back.
Manager Lee only left Yoo Hee-kwan
during yesterday's game.
He trusted him as a starting pitcher,
but he loses a point first.
AN UNEXPECTED CRISIS
Two outs, runner at third.
CHOONGAM 1 : 0 MONSTERS
Designated batter, Kim Min-seok is at bat.
Will Yoo Hee-kwan get over this crisis?
HE CANNOT LOSE MORE POINTS
The crisis is right before him.
HE HITS!
He pushes through. Second baseman,
Jeong Keun-woo catches.
First base, he's out. Three outs.
Choongam High hits two triples
after two outs,
and takes the first point. One to zero.
The game begins to shake.
-Hey.
-Okay.
Maybe he was shaken up.
That defense was like grade school.
HIS ANGER BREAKS OUT
HE'S MORE ENRAGED
OVER THE POINT HE LOST TODAY
Things don't look so good in the dugout.
SIGH…
-Could we have caught it otherwise?
-What?
If we were in the regular formation,
could we have caught it?
-Well…
-Probably the first. Not the second.
They were really close from here.
All of the outfielders.
It's to block missed hits.
But it was too close.
Hee-kwan, sorry.
Why were you all so passionate today?
Why was the defense forward?
They kept missing it. Nothing went over.
If we miss,
they're fast, so it becomes a triple.
Just make it a single.
Hee-kwan, I kept pulling it up,
-so don't be so angry.
-Okay.
We'll do defense for long hits, then.
-Yes.
-Just ordinary defense.
We won't let them score now.
The bottom of the second.
CK Monsters loses a point first.
The problem is that they shouldn't
let this moment of loss be prolonged.
No.
They need to go out quickly
and score quickly.
-That's what they need.
-Yes.
TAEK-KEUN MUST START CHASING
-Strike!
-He lifts up the low pitch.
Kim Dong-heon's framing
creates one strike.
Good pitch.
-Strike.
-Another strike.
Nice pitch. Goodness.
It's only the beginning,
but Lee Tae-yeon's aggressive pitches are
quite charming.
Then how will he pitch this time?
-Strike.
-It's a fastball.
Hey, nice pitch.
A fastball toward the torso.
It's a strikeout.
Lee Tae-yeon gets
his first strikeout today
against Lee Taek-keun.
This feels chilly.
One out.
Batter seven, Seo Dong-wook.
The first home run of the show was
hit by Seo Dong-wook.
He hit it here.
CK Monsters is expecting a lot
from Seo Dong-wook today.
HE HITS!
He hits it like a throw. It's slow.
-First baseman.
-He's fast.
He waits and catches.
Tagged out. Two outs.
MONSTERS CAN'T RISE ABOVE CHOONGAM
Lee Hong-ku is at bat.
Manager Lee announced
Lee Taek-keun is the catcher
as soon as yesterday's game ended.
I'm sure it killed Lee Hong-ku's pride.
However, a professional player
must stay focused and play.
A PRO PLAYER MUST RISE ABOVE
-He hits.
-Foul.
It's a foul.
He chooses to hit it immediately
instead of watching.
HONG-KU HITS WITH CONFIDENCE
Hong-ku, show what you got today.
Hong-ku, you said you'd hit two home runs.
-Strike!
-Okay.
I wanted to show that I have changed.
That was my main focus.
That's the only motivation I have.
The count is against the batter.
What will Lee Hong-ku do?
Swing and miss, strikeout!
SWING AND MISS, STRIKEOUT
Come on.
THE GAME WON'T WORK OUT AS THEY WISH
Strikeout, a grounder,
then another strikeout.
Pitcher Lee Tae-yeon
ends the inning after three batters.
-Man, Tae-yeon.
-Yes.
-Will you keep surprising me?
-Yes.
-My gosh, I was surprised today too.
-Yes.
Wait as much as you can,
and hit when it comes.
-Okay?
-Yes!
Good.
NICE, LET'S GO
The top of the third inning,
Choongam High is batting.
After the second inning,
the outfielders are out in the back
-for the third inning.
-Yes, you're right.
Dong-wook, come back a bit more.
Let's cut off the long hits.
Cut off long hits.
First batter, Lee Seong-hyeon.
BATTER 9, LEE SEONG-HYEON
A called game against a high school team?
Did the Monsters imagine this
when we first began?
YESTERDAY'S RESULT WAS UNIMAGINABLE
Yesterday's game ended like that,
and Yoo Hee-kwan loses
the first point to Choongam
from the start.
CHOONGAM SCORED FIRST
HE HITS!
It drops.
Ryu Hyun-in dashes at the grounder.
And a fast throw.
-Excellent.
-He's out.
A splendid defense unfolds on the field.
NICE, SPLENDID DEFENSE
That was a form of art.
My jaws just dropped.
He caught it with his glove,
pulled it out, then threw. It was fast.
That was top tier.
And I want to commend Lee Hong-ku.
That's called the scoop. It was perfect.
He brought up his team's spirit
-thanks to the great defense.
-Let's do this!
Here comes the bomb.
There's our nuclear bomb.
It's batter one, Im Jun-ha.
He hit a single
while he was first at-bat today.
On this show,
Im Jun-ha's batting average is
amazingly at 0,6.
He can't get caught. He's not struck out.
-Good one, Hee-kwan!
-Hey, focus!
MUST STOP THE 0,6 BATTER
HE HITS!
It goes into the net. A foul.
FOUL
Nice swing. Nice try.
Jun-ha, good. Let's go.
STRIKE
IT'S NOT EASY
TO HIT HEE-KWAN'S PITCH
Nice.
We must trust Yoo Hee-kwan,
the best pitcher of the Monsters.
-You're right.
-Yes.
CHOONGAM 1 : 0 MONSTERS
Throw it in there.
-Strike.
-It's in at the edge.
Strikeout looking.
Yoo Hee-kwan's second strikeout.
Even after playing many games,
Yoo Hee-kwan is
a pitcher who controls the game.
He makes sure the game stays
in similar flows.
He's the best pitcher.
The timing is off.
No runner, two outs.
Batter two, Lee Seon-u.
BATTER 2, LEE SEON-U
HE HITS!
Okay, take your time.
OUT?
OUT? OR ON BASE?
-Take your time.
-Okay.
Lee Hong-ku catches the low ball.
-He goes in himself.
-That's perfect.
First baseman, Lee Hong-ku.
He shows perfect fielding.
Yoo Hee-kwan ends the top of the third
-by striking out three batters.
-Okay.
-Nice, Hee-kwan.
-Nice.
-Nice.
-Good.
NICE DEFENSE
Hong-ku's defense is great.
-I told you. He's the first baseman.
-Yes.
The way he plays at the first base will
make him win the Golden Glove Award.
Bottom of the third.
CK Monsters are batting.
Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.
He brought up the team's spirit
by a timely throw.
Once we brought the game
in our favor, we must do well on batting.
Let's score one. We have to go.
We can't lag behind.
Let's go.
THE MONSTERS ARE DESPERATE
TO RUN OUT
He hits the first pitch.
It's a foul.
Great job.
-Good.
-Hyun-in, doing well.
THIS TIME, I'LL HIT!
Hyun-in, you have to go out.
FINALLY, IT'S A HIT!
It's a hit. It goes down the center.
Ryu Hyun-in delivers his moves.
Hyun-in is good.
Good.
Good, first draft. Okay.
Ryu Hyun-in is excellent in doing his part
-when the team is troubled.
-Yes.
Jeong Keun-woo is next at bat.
What kind of strategy
will Manager Lee use?
MANAGER YUOP SENDS SIGNALS
His left hand holds the bat long.
Jeong Keun-woo is in the bunt pose.
It's a short one.
He must send Ryu Hyun-in
to the second base.
THAT WAY, HE CAN SCORE
Ryu Hyun-in at first,
Jeong Keun-woo at bat.
KEUN-WOO PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE
Look before you hit.
-Okay.
-He's keeping the first base in check.
Good one.
-He switches. It's a hit.
-Catch it!
Go!
LET'S GO, KEUN-WOO!
-He switches. It's a hit.
-Catch it!
The first baseman throws.
-He's out at the second base.
-Okay.
CK Monsters' strategy fails.
The first runner is out.
One out,
runner still at first.
Yes, it's disappointing for CK Monsters.
They needed to make an attack
when he could score.
But that strategy just failed.
I wonder if Jeong Keun-woo will
run right away.
Batter two, Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.
BATTER 2, CHOI SOO-HYUN
HE HITS!
The ball hits the pitcher and bounces out.
The second baseman to the shortstop,
then to the first.
The first base is safe.
-Safe.
-But the first runner is out.
Two outs, runner at first.
-Two outs?
-Two outs.
Choongam High defends
smoothly yet sharply.
It's now Park Yong-taek.
Park Yong-taek hit a single
when he was first at bat.
He must show his raging power,
-Captain Park Yong-taek.
-Yes.
The captain of Monsters.
Hit one single.
Let's go.
HE THROWS TO THE 2ND?
The runner begins to run.
The ball goes to the second.
HE'S OUT
What? What happened?
He avoids getting tagged and steals.
HE AVOIDS GETTING TAGGED
AND STEALS THE BASE
Choi Soo-hyun
successfully steals the base.
As he slid in, he twisted his body
at the very last second.
-He twisted his body.
-I see, he dodged him.
-Runner at second, he can score.
-Come out.
We don't know what will happen now.
The runner can score now.
Park Yong-taek is at at.
THEY NEED ONE BIG HIT!
I think he'll do it.
Tae-yeon, stop them.
STRIKE
-A low hit.
-The bat spins.
Uncaught strike to the first.
Lee Tae-yeon finishes the inning.
Lee Tae-yeon and Kim Dong-heon battery
-aren't easy opponents to beat.
-Nice pitch!
He wouldn't usually swing at that.
We can relax
since it's just one point difference.
Everyone feels burdened.
Monsters are
still unable to beat Choongam.
Top of the fourth, Choongam is batting.
Woo Seung-won is the first at-bat.
BATTER 3, WOO SEUNG-WON
HE MUST STOP CHOONGAM ONCE AGAIN
HE HITS!
The third baseman catches.
Choi Soo-hyun catches it.
It was in front of him.
Choi Soo-hyun easily catches it
at the third base.
YOU'RE DOING GREAT, SOO-HYUN
He's doing great.
Why can't I get such hits?
A good hit is nice.
CHUCKLES
Oh Ju-won joined us urgently,
but other pitchers pitched
quite a number yesterday
other than Yoo Hee-kwan.
Yes, so Yoo Hee-kwan must
pitch for a long time,
reducing the number of pitches
as much as he can.
Batter four, Kim Dong-heon.
CHOONGAM'S CAPTAIN
-Let's go!
-Let's do this.
-Let's score.
-This is a big one.
Dong-heon, let's make a hit.
IT'S A HIT!
-Let's go!
-Go!
Another triple?
He hits. It's center-left.
The ball drops.
Come in quickly!
The ball continues to roll.
Kim Dong-heon goes to the second.
NO, YOU CAN'T!
And he stops.
KIM DONG-HEON REACHES 2ND!
Kim Dong-heon hits a double
-after one out.
-Nice!
CHOONGAM CHARGES FURIOUSLY
LET'S GO, LET'S FIGHT
Let's go!
-Nice!
-Go!
MONSTERS ARE IN A DANGER
OF LOSING ANOTHER POINT
The problem with CK Monsters is this.
Yoo Hee-kwan hit one out
in the fourth inning,
but he allowed three hits.
And three of them were long hits.
They were.
1 OUT, RUNNER AT 2ND
Chae-ul, I think you'll do this.
And batter five, Park Chae-ul is next.
CHOONGAM CAN SCORE
Park Chae-ul is at bat.
He hits the first pitch.
It flies sharply to the back.
It flies across center-left.
NO
THE RUNNER AT THE 2ND BEGINS TO SPRINT!
Over the third!
HE WON'T STOP AND RETURNS HOME!
The runner at the second
passes through the third and returns.
Two to zero.
Choongam's main batters score
yet another point.
A timely hit by batter five, Park Chae-ul.
GOOD JOB, CHAE-UL!
The trusted pitcher, Yoo Hee-kwan,
is starting to falter.
The score is two to zero.
We're losing.
It feels like it.
I really hope we win.
If we lose this game,
it'll be one win and two losses,
which means we can't play them again.
All I could think of
was that we must win today.
I was very determined.
He's not okay right now.
He's completely pissed off.
Yoo Hee-kwan allowed
five valid hits today.
There are still two outs left this inning.
ONE MORE HIT, ONE MORE POINT LOST
Kim Dong-heon and Park Chae-ul
doubled consecutively.
Batter six Cho Hyeon-min is at bat.
Get him. You have to stop him.
THE MONSTERS ARE IN A CRISIS
WILL THEY SAVE THE TEAM
FROM LOSING TWICE IN A ROW?
ALL BASES ARE LOADED
When Yoo Hee-kwan is the starting pitcher,
we've never seen such a score difference
until the midpoint.
The impossible has just happened.
Yes, it's a hit.
MONSTERS GET LED BY CHOONGAM HIGH
Yoo Hee-kwan is suffering more than ever.
THE ACE PLAYER IS FURIOUS
HE MIGHT BREAK THE CAMERA
EVEN THE TRUSTED ACE FALLS
Darn it.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?
AN INTIMIDATING ATMOSPHERE IN THE DUGOUT
It's not easy for Manager Lee
to figure out this game.
THE RELIEF PITCHER OF THE MONSTERS
I USED UP EVERY DROP OF ENERGY I HAD
He can't hit that.
STRIKEOUT
I HAVEN'T FELT THIS NERVOUS
SINCE WHEN I PLAYED AS A ROOKIE
No one, even the deity of baseball,
could have fathomed this situation.
All bases are loaded,
and Park Yong-taek is at bat.
This isn't an easy game to watch.
Subtitle translation by: Soo-hyun Yang
CK MONSTERS VS CHOONGAM HIGH SCHOOL
It's the second round with Choongam.
TODAY, WE'RE DETERMINED
WHAT KIND OF PLAYS
WILL THEY SHOW US TODAY?
He makes contact. It's a fly ball.
CK MONSTERS TAKES THE MOMENTUM
WITH A HOME RUN
A PLAY THAT PROVES THEY'RE DIFFERENT
CK MONSTERS KICK OFF WITH A LEAD
CAN YOON YEONG-CHEOL
BRING BACK THE MOMENTUM?
STRIKEOUT
STRIKEOUT
HE STRIKES OUT ALL THE BATTERS
CHOONGAM BEGINS
TO TAKE THE GAME BACK
The left center. Behind the left fielder.
He drops the ball!
INITIATES COUNTERATTACK
To home base!
-Hong-ku!
-There you go.
THROW IT!
HONG-KU COULDN'T THROW THE BALL
He runs and throws the ball!
THE RUNNER IS SAFE
THIS CHANGES THE MOMENTUM
HE COULDN'T THROW
BECAUSE HE HAD THE YIPS
WE STILL MUST STOP THEM
HE MAKES CONTACT!
-There!
-To home base!
3RD BASE!
HONG-KU COULDN'T THROW AGAIN
Third base!
THE TEAM'S ANXIETY STARTS TO SHOW
THE CATCHER IS SHAKEN UP
KEEP YOUR EYE ON BASE STEALING
CHOONGAM IS GOING
FOR CK MONSTER'S WEAK POINT
CONTINUES TO FAIL TO CATCH THE BALL
STEALS A BASE
STEALS ANOTHER BASE
CHOONGAM MANAGES TO MAKE A TIE
The score is four to four, a tie.
Rhee Dae-eun stands on the mound
as he faces the danger of losing the lead.
I MUST STOP THEM RIGHT HERE
The pitch flies out completely.
MONSTERS 4 : 5 CHOONGAM
THE BATTERY MATES HAVE FALLEN
The bases are full once again.
THE GAME DEPENDS ON THIS ONE PITCH
A WALK WITH BASES LOADED
ALLOWS ANOTHER RUN
The bottom of the 6th continues
for 22 minutes.
HOW WILL
THEY OVERCOME THIS CRISIS?
Here's how scary Choongam is.
They went in a round in this inning.
That means the first batter is at bat
the second time in the same inning.
And the bases are loaded.
2 OUTS WITH BASES LOADED
The inning is being dragged out.
A crisis for the Monsters.
THE 6TH BATTER,
HYEON-MIN IS UP NEXT
I couldn't allow any more runs.
I would be causing harm to my team.
I had nothing on my mind but to stop them.
Gosh, we're in trouble.
The Monsters have never lost to
a high school team before
-on A Clean Sweep.
-That's right.
In a sense, they might've felt
they were up against an easy opponent.
CAN DAE-EUN OVERCOME THIS CRISIS
-Ball.
-Gosh.
Take it easy.
If it's not in the center of the zone,
don't swing.
2ND PITCH
BALL
Hong-ku caught well.
That one was hard to catch.
He's not swinging.
He doesn't intend on swinging.
HE'S FRUSTRATED
-Is Soo-chang ready?
-I think so.
Let's switch if he fails here.
SHIM SOO-CHANG IS WARMING UP
IN THE BULLPEN
MONSTERS 4 : 6 CHOONGAM
You got this, Hyeon-min.
HE HITS!
Let's go.
HE CRIES OUT LOUD
-Behind!
-Behind you, Taek-keun.
It's flying to the center. Behind CF.
Behind the center fielder!
Run!
CHOONGAM RUNNERS ARE SPRINTING
AS FAST AS THEY CAN
He makes contact.
It's flying to the center.
Behind the center fielder!
He catches it!
Taek-keun manages to defend this inning.
HE SIGHS IN RELIEF
We would've lost if they all ran in.
WHAT A SHAME
The score is six to four.
CK Monsters aren't ahead anymore.
CK Monsters
are now chasing Choongam down.
Let's go into the seventh inning.
Today's game is not a joke.
Why are you so happy
when Monsters are losing?
I'm not happy.
I'm actually seriously devastated.
Are you sure? How can someone
so devastated smile like that?
I'm even sweating on the back, you know.
You know…
I have another stable source of income.
HIS TRUE COLORS
Guys, gather around.
We're pro players.
But it seems like we're more tense
than the high schoolers are.
Just relax.
If we lose,
we can just play again tomorrow.
We shouldn't play a game that we'd regret
because we're nervous.
Let's do our best and turn it around
in the next three innings.
Even if we can't, let's just try our best.
-Yes, sir!
-Come on in, guys.
-Bring it in.
-Bring it in.
-One, two, three
-Go!
-Okay!
-Go!
Yoon Yeong-cheol still takes the mound.
After the first out in the first inning,
he's been pitching against the CK Monsters
since then.
He's pitching again?
It's too early to tell,
but if he progresses and evolves,
I'm certain that we may be witnessing
Ryu Hyun-jin's high school days
as another name.
Yes. His boldness, technique,
and confidence. They're flawless.
CK Monsters is on offense, where they must
get two points to catch up.
This is the seventh inning,
with Jeong Keun-woo as the batter.
-He should start this inning off.
-That's right.
Hey, come on! You're the top, Keun-woo!
HE SIGHS
-Strike!
-Nice one!
STRIKE
THE BALL COUNT FAVORS YEONG-CHEOL
What a pitch.
WE MUST GET ON A BASE NO MATTER WHAT
Yeong-cheol is leading
the inning on the mound.
-He makes contact!
-Darn it!
FRUSTRATED
He makes contact!
But the shortstop catches it!
1 OUT
He catches the line drive.
A well-hit ball becomes an out
for the CK Monsters.
He hit two line drives today.
That's right.
That means
he was very unlucky in this game.
Darn it.
HE SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION
SEONG-HOON IS UP NEXT
He makes contact. It's a fly ball.
Behind the left fielder.
But this time, it couldn't go over.
Seong-hoon leaves the plate
with a fly ball.
TWO BATTERS ARE INSTANTLY OUT
They're thinking,
"How will I overcome this?"
Also, the Monsters have seen
the wide-ranged and skillful defense
by Choongam
since the beginning of this game.
It feels like they won't be able to score
unless it's a home run.
-Yes.
-Park Yong-taek is up.
Let's do this!
Go far! Let's defend the extra-base hit.
Think about the extra-base hit!
A DECISIVE HIT TO BRING
THE GAME BACK IS NEEDED
HE HITS!
-He makes contact with first base.
-Hurry up!
-First base.
-Okay!
-He fields the ball.
-Nice.
All the valid hits became
outs this inning.
THE INNING ENDS WITHOUT A RUN
YEONG-CHEOL, GREAT JOB
That's nice, he didn't pitch that much.
Okay. This is good.
Choongam's playstyle is a very scary one.
Manager Lee Young-bok made a solid team.
-Nice going, Yeong-cheol.
-Yes, sir.
-Feeling okay?
-I'm okay, sir.
That's good to hear.
Guys, stay focused. Smiling helps, right?
Our team has to smile to play well.
The smiling got us all the runs.
Look how good you all are.
Let's get some points
to finish up the game, okay?
-Yes, sir!
-Let's go.
-Nice!
-Let's go, Choongam!
THE UNSTOPPABLE CHOONGAM
I get why people watch baseball.
Now that I'm a fan of a certain team
and wish that they'd win,
I feel differently about it.
You're angry, right? Pretty pissed off?
Yes, I'm getting agitated.
This is the bottom of the seventh inning.
Choongam is on the offense.
Dae-eun takes the mound.
Soo-chang. You're up after one batter.
HE NODS
Lee Chung-heon is up first.
7TH BATTER, LEE CHUNG-HEON
Let's go, Chung-heon!
-Let's get on a base.
-You can do it.
-Nice!
-It's a ground ball.
The shortstop fields it.
To first base and out.
Dae-eun who came in
when the bases were empty.
He pitches an out
against the first hitter.
Timeout!
MANAGER LEE TAKES A TRIP
TO THE MOUND
-Dae-eun, you threw 27 pitches.
-Yes, sir.
Let's rest here
since we may play tomorrow.
-Yes, sir.
-Well done.
Manager Lee switches Dae-eun.
He threw 27 pitches.
Manager Lee decides to switch him out.
Good luck.
Dae-eun leaves the mound
with a stern face.
-Get ready for tomorrow.
-It's fine.
Today isn't the end, Dae-eun.
Your pitch had the best balance
against the last hitter.
You had less control before.
Your pitch was really good just now.
DISAPPOINTED
The last one was good.
-Good luck.
-Shim Soo-chang takes the mound.
I've been waiting for you for so long.
Good.
He takes the mound after 35 days.
Let's see how he does.
I thought, "I must end the inning quickly
with a minimum number of pitches."
The next up is Kim Min-seok as the DH.
Let's go, Min-seok!
CAN SOO-CHANG MANAGE
TO STOP THEM FROM SCORING?
Because they are behind by two points,
so Soo-chang must pitch well
and not allow any runs.
But…
But…
He allows a hit against the first batter.
Min-seok gets on a base.
-Three hits!
-Hat trick!
-Three hits.
-Nice.
Soo-chang,
you'll be taught a lesson today.
SOO-CHANG ALLOWS A HIT
AGAINST THE FIRST HITTER
Timeout.
HE'S WONDERING WHY
Pinch runner.
He's switching out runners.
He switches Min-seok out.
THE RUNNER SWITCHED
TO TARGET HONG-KU
I've prepared according to the opponent.
IM SANG-HYEOK IS ON FIRST
AS A PINCH RUNNER
Lee Seong-hyeon is up next.
The pinch runner,
Sang-hyeok, on the first base.
He seems fast.
And up against Hong-ku,
he might steal a base.
CAN HONG-KU STOP THE STEALING?
He's running for it!
He runs! And then to second base!
HE THROWS IT
That's the play. Let's go!
SAFE OR OUT?
He runs! And then to second base!
He slides in.
The ball bounced to second.
The runner is on second base.
What should we do with him?
Hong-ku's ability to throw the ball
and his decision-making led Choongam
to steal the base.
Darn it.
Soo-chang.
A bunt, third base.
I'll stay on third.
Let's make Seong-hyeon get on a base.
Darn it.
He's in a scoring position.
He has a chance to score.
He's going for third.
Soo-chang, he's getting ready.
Run!
-Again?
-He runs to third base! Third!
TRIES TO STEAL ANOTHER BASE TO 3RD
-Again?
-He runs to third base! Third!
He's safe on third!
Safe! What a slide!
-Let's go!
-He perfectly avoids Dong-wook's tag.
Nice dodge!
The pincher runner, Sang-hyeok,
steals the third base.
BATTERY ALLOWS HIM
TO STEAL TWO BASES
-I tagged him.
-He did!
What? No tag?
-I tagged him.
-No. You didn't tag him as he came in.
Hong-ku threw the ball well this time.
Let's see.
The twisted his body to avoid the tag.
He touched the base with his right hand
while pushing behind.
He even had his hand
as Dong-wook's glove left the base.
One out with a runner on third.
A HIT CAN RESULT IN A RUN
MANAGER LEE YOUNG-BOK
GIVES OUT ORDERS
THEY RECEIVE THE ORDER
Dong-wook!
GET READY FOR A SQUEEZE PLAY
He's going to bunt, even at one out.
A DEFENSIVE SHIFT FOR INFIELDERS
Lee Seong-hyeon gets ready for a bunt.
Accurately.
Third and first are both dashing in.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
Soo-chang, who used to be
the starting pitcher of Monsters.
WALK ON BALLS
He allows a walk.
HE LETS THE BATTER WALK
Now it's one out
with runners on first and third.
Now it's essential for the defense
to play perfectly.
Keun-woo!
MANAGER LEE TELLS HIM
TO COME FORWARD
Don't go in if they try to steal the base.
-Just let them steal?
-Yes.
Can't tag them out anyway.
They're letting them take second.
-They can't catch it right now.
-Yes. Because he can't throw.
And it's threatening
when Im Jun-ha is batting.
-That's right.
-And he's up.
A three for four today and an error.
I trust you!
He PAs today all resulted in him
on first base.
-Let's go!
-You got this, Jun-ha.
The runner goes to second.
-He's here.
-He's safely on second.
-The infielders were positioned closer.
-Right.
You wouldn't think about
throwing the ball to them.
That's right. There are two runners
in scoring positions.
The runners are on second and third.
We can't allow this.
HE'S WORRIED THAT THEY'D SCORE
The pitch was very inside.
A HIT-BY-PITCH IS MORE PAINFUL
IN A CRISIS LIKE THIS
Im Jun-ha was hit by a pitch.
So Choongam takes the empty first base.
He pitched overhand,
but his control was off.
Shim Soo-chang usually has good control
when he pitches sidearm.
But unfortunately,
it didn't work out here.
Now the base is loaded with one out.
I'll stop them. I can do it.
-I can do it.
-Number eight?
I can stop them.
-They'll keep hitting if you let them.
-Got it. I'll stop them.
-Take the mound, Soo-chang.
-I'll stop them.
I'll do it.
I was terrified. I couldn't breathe.
-Guk-il!
-A pinch hitter.
They brought in the pinch hitter,
Lee Guk-il.
Seong-hyeon wasn't confident today
in this situation,
so although it is a bold move,
he chose to use a substitute.
You got this!
Manager Lee Young-bok is ruthless.
A BOLD MOVE BY MANAGER LEE YOUNG-BOK
I can feel the energy sinking down
as if we're about to lose.
-I agree.
-Right?
I'm worried about tomorrow
if we lose today.
Indeed.
CAN SOO-CHANG TURN
THE GAME AROUND?
BALL
-The first pitch is a ball.
-Nice!
Nice!
The Monsters are flustered on the mound.
Lee Guk-il is still up.
MONSTERS 4 : 6 CHOONGAM
A pitch that bounces.
This is what Shim Soo-chang
has to consider right now.
He's the last pitcher.
JANG WON-SAM, CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
PITCHED 1ST AND 2ND
SONG SEUNG-JUN, CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
PITCHED 2ND TO 6TH
Darn, what do we do?
RHEE DAE-EUN, CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
PITCHED 6TH AND 7TH
YOO HEE-KWAN, CAN'T TAKE THE MOUND
WILL PITCH TOMORROW
He's the last one.
There is no one else left.
He has to wrap this game up.
MONSTERS 4 : 6 CHOONGAM
He makes contact! Third base!
THE BALL BOUNCES OFF
DONG-WOOK'S GLOVES
HITTING THE WALL
-He makes contact! Third base misses!
-Run!
Third and second baserunners
manage to step onto the home plate.
HYUN-IN RUNS TO FIELD THE BALL
-Come on, run!
-Behind!
Behind!
Behind!
HYUN-IN'S THROWING ERROR
To home base!
While the ball is rolling away,
first baserunner comes around
and hits the home base.
The loopholes in the Monsters' defense
is getting bigger and bigger.
Choongam is proving their skill
as a high school team in Korea.
CHOONGAM PROVES THE ABILITY
OF A HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM
Good job, Guk-il.
-Great job.
-Let's go!
I can't believe
the plays the Monsters made
even though I saw them with my own eyes.
It was a fast line drive.
Dong-wook tried to stop it,
but it wasn't enough.
And the play after.
Hyun-in tried to throw quickly.
But he failed.
THE MONSTERS COMPLETELY LOST
THEIR WILL TO PLAY
What doesn't work, doesn't work.
Defense is the basics of baseball.
An error during the defense
completely shatters
the will of the team to play the game.
The score is nine to four.
If the third baserunner comes home,
it'd be a six-point difference.
Shim Soo-chang is on the mound,
but he couldn't pitch a single out.
Goodness, this is so tough.
He's up against Woo Seung-won now.
WOO SEUNG-WON, THE 3RD HITTER, IS UP
A HIT WOULD RESULT IN A RUN
Woo Seung-won!
FOUL
THAT SURPRISED ME
A sharp swing. But a foul.
-Choongam is confident now.
-Totally.
They're swinging relentlessly.
Great job. You're doing great.
Go! Seung-won!
Second pitch is a strike.
A BALL COUNT THAT FINALLY FAVORS HIM
-Nice!
-Good!
GREAT JOB
The team's will to play is low right now,
so Soo-chang should pitch a strikeout.
He needs to pitch a strike
with confidence.
-Come on!
-You got this.
When you're in this situation,
pitching breaking balls
doesn't cross your mind, right?
In a time of crisis on the mound,
you're bound to throw pitches
you're most confident with.
WHAT KIND OF PITCH
DID HE CHOOSE TO THROW?
Swing and miss! Strikeout!
Swing and miss! Strikeout!
-Okay!
-Soo-chang.
This is his first time pitching an out.
Great job!
NICE SOO-CHANG
Soo-chang must pitch
all the way to the end today.
-Next up is Dong-heon.
-Dong-heon!
WHAT KIND OF PITCH
WILL HE THROW THIS TIME?
FOUL
PITCHING FORM CHANGED?
-Nice job.
-This is good.
He pitched like it's underhand.
Soo-chang has
a good balance as a sidearm pitcher.
Right. He's going against Choongam
with a different pitching style.
-Dong-heon!
-Soo-chang.
It's a foul ball.
Nice!
The foul ball went back.
Nice pitching.
Good job. Swing just like that.
MONSTERS 4 : 9 CHOONGAM
-Strike!
-It's inside. Strikeout looking!
-Strike!
-It's inside. Strikeout looking!
A tough inning for Shim Soo-chang.
He manages to strike out Kim Dong-heon
and stops them from scoring.
Then he comes down the mound.
But the score is nine to four.
A five-point difference for the Monsters.
I mean…
That first game improved them.
Yoon Yeong-cheol is back up again.
TOP OF THE 8TH INNING
MONSTERS 4 : 9 CHOONGAM
YEONG-CHEOL STILL TAKES THE MOUND
SINCE THE 1ST INNING
-How many pitches did he throw?
-It's 95 pitches.
NUMBER OF PITCHES: 95
BALL: 32
PITCHED 7 STRIKEOUTS
If you throw 105 pitches,
you can't throw for 4 days, right?
So you have to rest for four days?
He can't pitch tomorrow.
CK Monsters. It's nine to four.
Their hitting starts with them
five points behind.
First up is Jung Eui-yoon.
What kind of offense
and what kind of baseball
will the Monsters show us
the rest of the game?
STRIKE
CONTEMPLATING
SWING AND MISS
STRIKE
2 BREAKING BALLS FOOLED EUI-YOON
This is annoying.
He's pitching a slow breaking ball.
Just as the Monsters pitched
against the high schoolers,
Yeong-cheol is going against them
in the same way.
That's right, it's exactly the same
now that I think about it.
BUT I MUST GET ON BASE
WILL YEONG-CHEOL
THROW A DECISIVE PITCH RIGHT AWAY?
Swing and miss!
Swing and miss! Strikeout!
A high fastball leads
to another strikeout.
This is the eighth strikeout
Yeong-cheol pitched today.
I just felt Hee-kwan's style of pitching
from the pitching just now.
I agree.
FIRST BREAKING BALL
SECOND BREAKING BALL
LAST PITCH WAS A HIGH FASTBALL
-Taek-keun is up next.
-We have to get on a base!
-Strike!
-Nice pitch!
First pitch is a strike.
Gosh, that's a hell of a pitch!
What kind of pitcher
would he become in the future?
A SLOWER BREAKING BALL
FOUL
Look at that.
That was 106km/h, a slow breaking ball
that took away the hitter's timing.
The players made improvements
-to their baseball in just 49 days.
-Right.
The pitcher is on another level now.
MONSTERS 4 : 9 CHOONGAM
WILL HE GET ON A BASE
OR WILL HE STOP HIM
SWING AND MISS

Swing and miss! Strikeout!
Swing and miss! Strikeout!

Yeong-cheol pitches his ninth strikeout.
This is the number one
high school southpaw pitcher.
Now that I came this far,
can I just pitch to the end?
Timeout!
We're changing pitchers.
Manager Lee Young-bok
makes his trip to the mound.
-Yeong-cheol, well done today.
-Thank you.
-Your pitches are amazing today.
-Thank you.
Gosh, Yeong-cheol.
-Good pitching.
-Thank you, sir.
-You may rest.
-Yes, sir.
He doesn't want to come down,
but the manager switches him out here.
-That was insane, Yeong-cheol.
-Well done.
He threw 105 pitches.
AFTER PITCHING 7 1/3 INNINGS,
HE COMES DOWN THE MOUND
Since the first inning to two outs
in the eighth inning.
Great job.
He deserves a big round of applause.
He leaves the mound with the curtain call.
Yoon Yeong-cheol, the ace of Choongam.
A WELL-DESERVED APPLAUSE
How did a high school pitcher learn
how to change timings in a single game?
-He must be Lee Tae-yeon.
-I think so.
Eighth inning with two outs.
Lee Tae-yeon takes the mound.
He didn't play the first game
due to his back injury.
He returned after going through rehab.
What if we get seven points here?
We have a chance when the pitcher changes.
He's against Seo Dong-wook.
CAN DONG-WOOK GRAB THIS CHANCE?
We saw Yoon Yeong-cheol, the ace, play.
Kim Dong-heon, the catcher, said
"if you look at velocity and movement,
-the best pitcher is Lee Tae-yeon."
-I see.
-I'm looking forward to his pitches.
-Right.
Pitcher Lee Tae-yeon.
HOW WILL HIS PITCHES BE?
-Swing and miss! Strikeout!
-Nice!
-Swing and miss! Strikeout!
-Nice!
Goodness.
MONSTERS COULDN'T
OVERCOME CHOONGAM
Nice pitch, Tae-yeon.
Yoon Yeong-cheol and Lee Tae-yeon.
A collaboration
to pitch three up and three down.
All the batters were struck out.
Choongam's mound is hard to overcome.
ONLY 1 INNING REMAINING
I can't watch it anymore.
It makes me angry.
Well done!
A GAME NOT WORKING OUT
TO PLAYERS NOT AT THEIR FULLEST
Come on, let's make this happen.
THEY'RE MORE DESPERATE THIS INNING
Let's all smile and score one more run.
So that we can do well
in tomorrow's game. Got it?
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Go play.
Let's go!
CHOONGAM IS PLANNING
TO GO AHEAD MORE
This is the bottom of the eighth.
The inning starts with Choongam
on the offense.
BOTTOM OF THE 8TH INNING
MONSTERS 4 : 9 CHOONGAM
LEE HONG-KU
On the mound is Shim Soo-chang.
Soo-chang must at least finish
pitching the eighth inning.
There's nothing I could do.
By any means, I wanted
to finish up the inning
as fast as possible.
Finish the inning as fast as I can.
Hyun-in.
WHAT HE MUST DO FOR MONSTERS
IS TO PITCH AN IMMACULATE INNING
Park Chae-ul is up next.
You can do it!
THE 5TH BATTER PARK CHAE-UL
In this situation, he must pitch a strike
and get a sense of the game.
I'M GOING TO PITCH A STRIKE
NO MATTER WHAT
Darn it.
The first pitch hits.
HE HITS!
The ball goes through the center.
Come on.
Choongam's offense starts
with Park Chae-ul's hit.
HIS LIPS ARE GETTING DRIED UP
LET'S RUN AHEAD OF THEM
HE SIGHS
No outs with a runner on first.
NO OUTS WITH RUNNER ON 1ST
Batting on the sixth spot, Cho Hyeon-min.
THE 6TH BATTER, CHO HYEON-MIN
-He's running!
-Strike!
-He's running.
-The runner is stealing the base!
-Strike!
-He's stealing again.
On second base, he's safe!
SAFE
THE BATTERY ALLOWED THEIR BASE
TO GET STOLEN AGAIN
HE MOANS IN FRUSTRATION
A hit and a stolen base.
No outs, runner on second.
NO OUTS WITH RUNNER ON 2ND
MANAGER YOUNG-BOK CALLS HIM
HE SIGNALS SOMETHING
TO CHO HYEON-MIN
Choongam is literally stirring the game up
on the plate and the ground.
He's going for a bunt?
SURPRISE BUNT
THE FIELDERS ARE SURPRISED
BY THE SURPRISE BUNT
SIGHING
-Come on!
-You got this!
Today, Choongam is drawing out
balls through bunts,
and when the ball is in the zone,
they make contact.
They're playing that kind of baseball.
Monsters shouldn't be confused
by this kind of play.
But when you see a hitter going
for a bunt, it catches you off guard.
-Go!
-You can do this!
You can do this!
TWO AND ONE
GOING FOR A BUNT
THREE AND ONE
GOING FOR A BUNT
-Come on!
-You got this!
They were going for bunts,
so I was like,
"I have to pitch a strike. I have to."
That's what I thought.
I HAVE TO PITCH A STRIKE…
I HAVE TO…
What a difficult play to deal with.
THE COUNT SUDDENLY FAVORS THE HITTER
HE HITS!
He makes contact through the 5-6 hole.
Run quickly!
The ball fell short,
so the runner couldn't come home.
Right.
CHOONGAM DOESN'T KNOW
WHEN TO STOP SWINGING
-Nice, good!
-Great!
A good hit!
The two hitters both hit the ball.
ANOTHER CRISIS OF ALLOWING RUNS
There are runners on first and third.
No outs.
NO OUTS
WITH RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 3RD
Lee Chung-heon is up next.
THE 7TH BATTER
LEE CHUNG-HEON
Let's go, Chung-heon!
I MUST STOP THIS ATTACK
-Run!
-Strike!
STEALING BASES AGAIN!
-Run!
-Strike!
STEALING AGAIN?
Goodness sake, what do we do?
First baserunner goes to second.
He didn't even look back.
THIS IS HELPLESS
How many times did they steal?
HOW MANY TIMES DID THEY STEAL?
It's a five-point difference,
and he hasn't pitched an out.
THE 8TH TIME THEY FAILED
TO STOP THE RUNNERS FROM STEALING
NO OUTS
WITH RUNNERS ON 2ND AND 3RD
They made a defensive shift.
You can hit this!
Hyun-in.
COME FORWARD
THE INFIELDERS ARE SHIFTING TOWARDS
THE HOME PLATE
I CANNOT ALLOW A SINGLE POINT
He makes contact!
HE SPRINTS
Run quickly!
He makes contact!
The ball rolls away next to the shortstop.
Two runners came home.
They returned home with no sweat.
A RUTHLESS RBI SINGLE FOR CHUNG-HEON
HE'S DEVASTATED
What the heck was that?
They score two more runs.
The score is 11 to 4.
NO OUTS WITH RUNNER ON 1ST
With a ten-point difference,
-the mercy rule is applied.
-They might lose with a mercy rule.
That's why Shim Soo-chang
must defend the inning no matter what.
They might be losing to a high school team
for the first time,
but it may also be a called game.
Well. That's won't happen.
THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE FOR HIM
This is how tight their situation
is right now.
MONSTERS MAY FACE HUMILIATION
There's a game tomorrow,
so let's make the mercy rule happen.
This is a big blow to our pride.
Soo-chang is probably darn frustrated.
I'm about to burst with frustration too.
THE MERCY RULE IS
RIGHT BEFORE THEIR EYES
Because I couldn't throw well…
I think
that's why it led to this situation.
Hong-ku, just throw with confidence!
Throw it!
-No!
-Behind you!
Im Sang-hyeok is up next.
THE 8TH BATTER, IM SANG-HYEOK
He drops the ball.
FIRST BASE RUNNER STEALS A BASE
-Throw it!
-No!
Keep running!
The runner runs past second
and goes for third.
Third!
To third base!
He steps on the plate on third base.
GETS ON THIRD BASE
DUE TO CATCHING FAILURE
I was furious at myself.
Honestly, it doesn't make sense.
Goodness. Darn. This is not good.
No outs with a runner on third.
Hey. What are you doing?
What the hell are you doing?
You know they're ahead
by seven points, right?
What do we do with Hong-ku?
He's in big trouble today.
THROWING, CATCHING
HONG-KU IS IN A TIGHT SPOT
Silence has filled the Gocheok Sky Dome.
3 POINTS UNTIL THE MERCY RULE
I CANNOT DARE TO MAKE
ANOTHER MISTAKE
HE HITS!
The ball skips off the bat.
Second.
1 OUT
Second base catches it. One out.
Soo-chang pitches
his first out of the inning.
We got this.
This is good!
He needs to pitch
so they won't score any runs.
1 OUT WITH A RUNNER ON 3RD
Lee Seong-hyeon is up next.
Threw 40 pitches right now.
Try to finish within 50.
BALL
The ball was in and high.
You must have good command.
HE STILL DOESN'T HAVE GOOD COMMAND
OVER HIS PITCHES
I couldn't pitch for long today.
I COULDN'T PITCH FOR LONG TODAY
I should've pitched more innings.
I felt really bad for Soo-chang.
A TOUGH FIGHT ON THE MOUND
THE SCORE DIFFERENCE
FEELS BIGGER AND WIDER
He makes contact. Third base!
The ball hits the glove!
Come on! Come home quickly!
PLEASE, LET IT BE OUT
Third baserunner, to home plate!
He comes home. Another RBI single.
HE'S SIGHING
I made errors that shifted
the momentum to them.
I think the game was up in the air
because of me.
Now, it's 12 to 4. An 8-point difference.
A BIGGER SCORE DIFFERENCE
1 OUT WITH A RUNNER ON 1ST
The first pitcher, Im Jun-ha, is up.
When he made PA, he went on a base today.
If he gets on a base,
and he comes home,
the game is finished there.
Only two runs
until the mercy rule is applied.
2 POINTS UNTIL THE MERCY RULE
Jun-ha, swing with confidence.
HE'S LOOKING CONFIDENT AND CALM
I MUST PITCH AN OUT NO MATTER WHAT
He pops it up! Left center.
He pops it up! Left center.
A clean landing in the left center.
HE'S SIGHING
There you go!
Four hits, wow.
HE BREATHS IN UNHAPPILY
Two runners on bases.
Im Jun-ha manages to get on a base again.
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL ROUND
FOR CHOONGAM
Darn! Another hit?
-Darn, that's a lot of hits today.
-Seriously?
Hey!
Now…
1 OUT WITH RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND
This is really serious now.
An extra-base hit is all they need.
The DH is gone.
It's now Lee Tae-yeon's turn to hit.
STILL TWO MORE OUTS
BEFORE THE INNING ENDS
I MUST PITCH AN OUT BY ANY MEANS
Go get them, Soo-chang!
FIRST PITCH
BALL
SOO-CHANG'S COMMAND
CONTINUES TO BE UNSTABLE
Let's take this to the end.
Soo-chang! You got this!
Come on!
-Strike!
-Outside. It's a strike.
MUSTERED ALL HIS STRENGTH
TO THROW A POWERFUL PITCH
-Go, Soo-chang!
-Let's go!
Nice pitch!
HE HITS!
He makes contact with the end of his bat.
Come on, run!
Two outs. He tags the lead runner out.
While that happened,
the runners went on first and third.
I feel bad for Soo-chang.
-He must pitch an out.
-That's right.
RUNNER IN SCORING POSITION
ANOTHER CRISIS
Woo Seung-won is up next.
-Let's finish this up, Soo-chang!
-Come on!
He makes contact.
OH, NO
The ball drops near the center fielder.
The third baserunner scores a run.
We'll lose with another run.
My mind went blank.
SIM SOO-CHANG
1 RUN BEFORE THE MERCY RULE
I had a mental breakdown.
This cannot happen.
THE MERCY RULE IS
AT THEIR FRONT DOOR
Let's all cheer up!
Can the next hitter swing
against the Monsters
for the mercy game
to give them the humiliation?
That is up to Kim Dong-heon,
the fourth hitter.
CK MONSTERS ARE
GOING AGAINST THE BEST
Dong-heon has nothing today.
Swing a big one for me.
Dong-wook!
Cover the lines. Seong-hoon, you too.
Come closer.
THE INFIELDERS ARE GETTING READY
FOR AN EXTRA-BASE HIT
THE FINAL MOVE
TO STOP THE MERCY RULE FROM APPLYING
I WILL STOP THEM NO MATTER WHAT
A HIT-BY-PITCH
It's a hit-by-pitch.
HE'S FLUSTERED
Another hit-by-pitch.
Kim Dong-heon gets on a base.
The bases are loaded now.
He cannot allow a walk or a hit-by-pitch.
Unimaginable plays
are being made continuously.
The game…
THE GAME IS EITHER OVER
…is over this inning,
or goes onto the next inning.
It's either one of those.
Park Chae-ul, the fifth batter, is up.
THE ONE WHO IS TRYING
TO FINISH THE STORY
Chae-ul, let's finish this up.
Who is the fifth hitter? Park Chae-ul…
Next.
A THREE HUNDRED BATTER
Seong-hoon.
Let's get back to normal formation.
Watch out for a Texas Leaguer.
WATCH OUT FOR A TEXAS LEAGUER
That's good enough.
FIELDERS GET BACK TO THEIR POSITIONS
I thought that I should make an out
by any means.
A BATTLE THAT HE WISHES
WOULD NOT BE FINAL
Don't give up!
DON'T GIVE UP!
THERE IS SO SUCH THING
AS GIVING UP FOR ME
-Goodness.
-Gosh.
Gosh.
HE DROPS THE BALL
The ball bounces! He drops it!
The runner comes home!
-Good game.
-Okay!
The shocking second loss
of the CK Monsters
is due to the mercy rule.
Darn.
Is that a called game?
A CALLED GAME?
This isn't the ending we wanted.
This ending is wrong.
HE IS SAD AND DISAPPOINTED
Wow. This is…
THEY CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED
I couldn't even show what I had.
That shouldn't have happened.
It shouldn't have.
Goodness.
AN UNIMAGINABLE LOSS BY MERCY RULE
If the game ends like this…
-Let's go shake hands.
-We should. Let's go.
-Let's go shake hands.
-If it ends like this…
DISHEARTENED
THE LOSS MADE BY EVERYONE'S ERRORS
Today's game was…
AND THE CLOSING PITCHER,
SHIM SOO-CHANG
THE MOUND WAS SO TOUGH
THAT HIS WHOLE-BODY TREMBLES
Well done.
Well done.
Good job.
I feel like a sinner.
In the end, I disheartened
and let my team down.
That's why I felt horrible.
I felt as if what I did jeopardized
the other eight players.
TEARS ARE DROPPING BECAUSE
HE FEELS BAD FOR HIS TEAMMATES
Seriously. Why am I crying?
WHY AM I CRYING?
I'm speechless.
I'M SPEECHLESS
TO BLAME SOMEONE ISN'T RIGHT
AS EVERYONE WAS AT FAULT
Well done.
-Good game.
-Good game.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-What a great team.
-I think you went easy on us.
As each year goes by,
I can feel my instincts
gradually slowing down.
I CAN FEEL MY INSTINCTS
GRADUALLY SLOWING DOWN
"Regretful" isn't enough
to express my feelings.
I don't think I can sleep tonight.
AS THEY WON THEIR WHOLE LIFE
THEY ALSO LOST COUNTLESS TIMES
Honestly, I was annoyed.
I WAS ANNOYED
-Go!
-Let's go!
A LOSS IS ALWAYS
PAINFUL TO THE BONE
MONSTER'S SECOND LOSS
BASEBALL
IS FUN
ONLY WHEN WE WIN
In a match
against the Monsters in 49 days,
Choongam manages to win by the mercy rule.
The first consecutive match
of the Monsters.
It will be the third game with Choongam.
-That's right.
-Today's commentary will end here.
Today was joined by commentator
Kim Sun-woo and myself, Jeong Yong-geom.
Thank you to everyone who joined us today.
THEY ARE LEAVING THE DUGOUT
IN SILENCE
AND MANAGER LEE IS ON ONE SIDE
AN UNIMAGINABLE CALLED GAME
I CANNOT LET THIS BE
WHAT WILL MANAGER LEE DECIDE TO DO?
THE LOSS WEIGHS DOWN ON ALL OF THEM
THE LOSS WEIGHS DOWN ON ALL OF THEM
-Good game.
-Good game.
-Good game.
-Gosh.
SILENCE COMES DOWN
INTO THE LOCKER ROOM
Beyond all the seriousness,
we were all out of it.
We were all…
It definitely feels different
from the loss against Dong-eui.
I was mad back then, but now I'm furious.
The word "humiliation"
even comes to my mind.
A HUMILIATING MATCH
THAT MADE HIM FURIOUS
I think this is the first time
I've lost a game by mercy rule.
The fact that we lost the game
by mercy rule is embarrassing.
We used to be professional players.
We were belittled.
It felt like we were the high schoolers
and the Choongam High School players
were the professionals.
THE SHOCK OF THE LOSS BY MERCY RULE
IS DIFFICULT TO SHAKE OFF
I was always looking forward to a game,
and I've always had an expectation.
But when today's game was over,
I was worried about
how we should play tomorrow's game.
AS A MANAGER, HE IS AT A LOSS
Jun-ho's absence feels greater now.
Rhee Dae-eun and Song Seung-jun
already pitched.
Shim Soo-chang went beyond his limits.
Jang Won-sam obviously cannot pitch.
So I thought,
"How are we going to play this tomorrow?"
HIS CONTEMPLATION GROWS DEEPER
Come in.
Taek-keun, come here.
MANAGER LEE CALLED TAEK-KEUN
TO HIS ROOM
-Good game.
-Well done.
It was tough, right?
-Switching catchers?
-What do you think about it?
You've been a catcher for a long time.
Yes, I've only been a catcher.
But why did you quit?
To play baseball.
I wanted to be on the field.
Kim Dong-soo was released from LG
and joined my team.
But he was at this prime
for the fifth time.
I see.
-He even got a golden glove award.
-I see.
So I had to become an outfielder.
HE TOOK OFF HIS CATCHER'S MASK
FOR THAT REASON
-I'll give it a try.
-You think you can do it?
I have to.
We lost today, and if we lose tomorrow…
Is it possible to practice today,
right now?
Of course.
Then I'll practice a bit today.
-I think it'll be fine.
-Please get ready then.
Can we practice outside right now?
Can you please ask if it's possible? Okay.
-You may go.
-Thank you, sir.
-Call Hong-ku.
-Hong-ku?
I'm going to change some things up
for tomorrow.
This is for the team's victory,
and also for Hong-ku's confidence,
I took the route that went around
instead of facing it head-on.
For tomorrow,
-try to get ready to be the first baseman.
-Yes.
-Let's practice a bit together.
-Right.
When you're on first,
you can focus more on the batted ball…
Honestly,
high schoolers can't throw a ball.
But when they shout, "Run, run!"
It's a blow to your ego, right?
You have to overcome it.
There's no other way.
You have to get the better of it.
MANAGER LEE IS GIVING HONG-KU
TIME TO OVERCOME IT
You can do this.
-You may go.
-Thank you, sir.
-Good job.
-Thank you.
Cheer up, okay?
Good game.
Good game.
-You heard from Manager Lee?
-Yes, I did.
I'll be the catcher.
I'll try to hold it out.
Just get ready for me.
Pass me the equipment.
-Right now?
-I have to practice.
-Gosh.
-Come on. Stop and give it to me.
-I'm sorry, Hong-ku.
-I couldn't help the team…
-You did a good job, Hong-ku.
-I'm so sorry.
It's sweaty.
How about swinging four hits
and two home runs tomorrow?
It's a big blow.
Because I threw badly…
That's why I'm so shaken up.
If I threw well and it was safe,
I would just admit the result.
But when I threw it so hopelessly…
That's what makes me furious.
ONE PERSON IS LOST IN HIS THOUGHTS
I was completely torn up.
ANOTHER WILD PITCH IN THE 6TH INNING
CONTINUOUS WILD PITCHES
I've never pitched a ball as wild as that.
-Another wild pitch this game.
-Why do you think that's happening?
I have no idea why.
When you first took the mound,
you pitched well.
I know. So I pitched the same way,
but the result wasn't.
-I see.
-Yes.
It doesn't make sense for a pitcher
to pitch the same area,
-but suddenly pitch so off.
-I know.
-I can't understand…
-This happened last time too.
It's been going on for several games.
You should think about…
-Maybe thinking wouldn't help.
-I know.
You don't know what's going on either.
I want to pitch my ball.
I want to pitch the same ball as before.
I think that will satisfy me.
-Good work, sir.
-Good work.
Good job, guys.
-Nice work, guys.
-Good job.
Good job, everyone.
First…
I'm embarrassed. Absolutely embarrassed.
When we first started this, I thought,
"Let's teach these amateurs
something about baseball,"
and, "We are playing this passionately
and well,
so feel the difference and acknowledge
that you are still not there."
This is what I wanted to indirectly show
to the high school athletes
through our plays.
But games like today's are unacceptable.
It was humiliating.
Today's athletic performance is hopeless.
We lost to Dong-eui once.
We beat them last time in the third game.
But we lost today.
The fact that we are losing faster
is a negative message to us.
I hope that I can see you all
stepping it up in tomorrow's game.
I don't want you to play a game
that would be embarrassing.
Anyway, good work.
And the producer wants to say something.
For tomorrow's game,
we've prepared a pitcher.
Looking at the current situation,
I think he has to play tomorrow.
He's here right now.
-Hello.
-Wow.
-Wow.
-Hello.
I chose the wrong day to come.
ONE CLUB MAN OH JU-WON
Nice to meet you.
WHAT A QUIET WELCOME
To make today better,
a current pro should've come.
WHY AM I HERE?
WE ARE HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HERE…
You should introduce yourself.
Nice to meet you.
I know today isn't the best day…
I hope I can contribute to the team.
They were in mourning.
When Shim Soo-chang first reached out,
he said, "You can just relax and pitch."
And then I came into the locker,
and he was brooding.
It looked like he was about to die.
And they were all disheartened.
So I thought, "What is this?"
So I got butterflies in my stomach.
I'll try my best.
Welcome!
The game is over and done.
So let's move on.
If there are those who want to practice,
come out into the field.
Those who need to relax may go home.
Bring the net quickly, we have no time.
Please.
LEE SEUNG-YUOP'S BATTING PRACTICE?
Manager Lee is batting with rage.
If a situation tougher than this comes,
I may end up playing…
MANAGER LEE SEUNG-YUOP
RETIRED BASEBALL PLAYER
Soo-sung, can you hit a fungo for me?
-A fungo?
-Yes.
HE CONTINUES TO DEFENSE TRAINING
MANAGER LEE WANTS TO WIN
MORE THAN ANYONE
I think each one of us must invest
their own times
to put more effort into practicing.
TAEK-KEUN WEARS A CATCHER'S MASK
AGAIN IN ABOUT 20 YEARS
Sit down. Sit inside.
That's too far in. That's enough.
EX MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYER'S
TEACHING MOMENT
There was something I regret as a player.
Darn it.
It's playing as a catcher.
It's my sore spot.
I have one thing in mind.
To play well as a catcher,
as I couldn't be one all this time.
Look at him go.
Taek-keun is geared up.
-What?
-He's geared up.
Manager Lee is practicing defense too.
Where's Hong-ku?
He's just sitting over there.
Seung-jun is taking care of him.
-What are you doing alone?
-What?
I feel like we lost because of me.
-My throw…
-Gosh. Hey.
There's no such thing. We all lost.
-I couldn't throw.
-It's okay.
When practicing, I threw well.
So I thought my throws will be fine today.
But when I threw it to another player,
and to the pitcher on the mound…
This is what I thought.
I thought too hard
about not throwing it down.
And if I use my wrist, I feel like
the ball is going to go straight down.
So back when I did PFP drills,
I threw the ball as powerful as I can,
and it went to their chest.
But when I hesitated
and thought that I shouldn't throw down
and threw softly, they all went down.
And the spin wasn't right either.
Even if I throw a wild ball,
just throw it powerfully.
Then you'll learn
that it's easier to throw that way.
That's how you gain your confidence back.
It's until eight.
So try throwing the ball. Come here.
Just throw it over me.
SPECIAL TRAINING STARTS NOW
Catch it. And throw it.
It's good. See?
I think you can correct this in a day.
-Sit back down.
-Catch.
Stand up and throw.
There you go.
You caught it. Don't throw softly.
Throw with power.
-I caught it.
-Pass it over.
See? Your throws are good.
You don't throw down.
Throw it back.
There you go. Nice.
It really doesn't drop down.
You have to do the gesture to the umpire.
-So you'd seem like a catcher.
-Oh, right.
And then throw it.
Good throw.
You caught it. I'll stand here.
There you go. And I pitched.
I'll stand here.
HIS THROWS ARE GAINING CONFIDENCE
Gosh, you're…
At least you're not throwing like this
like before.
Look how much you've improved.
You're already overcoming so much.
That's how you should think.
-Let's go home now.
-Yes, sir.
I'm exhausted.
That was…
Only the ones who experienced this
would relate.
He came to me and told me this
because he knew how I felt.
That's why it was so touching.
Because it was so honest.
The only way is to overcome it myself.
I have to change.
SEOUL
GOCHEOK SKY DOME
-Soo-hyun.
-Yes?
-Did you sleep well?
-Yes.
You were able to sleep?
-You could sleep?
-I thought you'd say that.
You really slept? Seriously.
-Hello.
-What about you, Hyun-in?
I couldn't sleep.
You couldn't?
You should've slept well for today's game.
TALKING GIBBERISH
TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD
Hello.
-Hello, everyone.
-Hello.
Good morning. You all look so bright.
-You shaved.
-Yes, I did.
This is a baseball player's routine.
-Shaved Taek.
-You shave when you're frustrated.
Same here.
I'm happy you guys are in a good mood.
HE SNIFFS
-Hello, sir.
-Hello, sir.
-What's with the bat?
-I'm desperate.
-Hello, sir.
-Hello.
-Captain, did you sleep well?
-Yes, sir.
Yesterday…
What happened? Nothing happened, right?
Nothing happened.
HYPNOSIS FAILS
I'm glad you're all bright.
Move on from yesterday.
It's not an individual's error.
Everyone here, including me,
Hyun-in, and Soo-hyun, we all lost.
So I hope this loss doesn't trouble you.
This is all I have to say.
Let's win today's game.
Soo-sung will announce the lineup.
To change up the mood.
-Number one, Keun-woo.
-Yes.
-Second base.
-Okay.
-Soo-hyun, third base.
-Yes, sir.
-Yong-taek. Center.
-Yes, sir.
Okay.
I think it's been eight years.
About eight or nine years.
-Eui-yoon, left fielder.
-Yes, sir.
-Seong-hoon, DH.
-Yes, sir.
Taek-keun, catcher.
-Dong-wook, right-fielder.
-Okay.
-Hong-ku, first.
-Yes, sir.
LOOKING FORWARD TO HONG-KU'S CHANGE
-Hyun-in, shortstop.
-Yes, sir.
And lastly,
the starting pitcher is Hee-kwan.
STARTING PITCHER, YOO HEE-KWAN
Ju-won,
Seung-jun, Dae-eun, and Soo-chang.
Today, we don't know who will pitch
in what situation.
So I want all the pitchers to be ready.
Let's win today. That's all.
LET'S WIN TODAY
All right.
2 HOURS BEFORE THE GAME STARTS
Good. It should pop up like that.
MONSTERS ARE BURNING
WITH THE URGE TO WIN
We must win no matter what.
Eye for an eye.
I'm much more nervous
than when I was a pro.
Nice pitch.
I'll leave my left arm here on the mound.
It's a relief you're here.
Catch it. Slowly.
-Catch it and throw it.
-Nice.
HONG-KU IS BURNING AS WELL
That was sick.
Just break through everything.
One, two.
There you go.
One, two.
Nice. Last one. One, two.
Soo-sung, are you done? Can you help me?
Yes?
THE MANAGER IS MORE PASSIONATE
THAN THE PLAYERS
We're only going to play to win.
Manager Lee is doing fungo drills.
-He did it yesterday too.
-Is he playing today?
Keun-woo, warm up.
MANAGER LEE IS ABOUT TO PLAY?
Look how accurate he is.
A shocking mercy rule loss.
Today, a win is needed to change the mood.
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the third game
of Choongam and CK Monsters.
I'm with Commentator Kim Sun-woo.
-Hello.
-Hello.
It was shocking yesterday.
The consecutive match
is starting off on a bad note.
The loss yesterday was caused
by a number of errors made by the players.
And the pitchers couldn't pitch
like they wanted to.
So the relief pitchers in the dugout
will watch the game under pressure.
I wanted to destroy everything red.
We lost by mercy rule.
We'll make it the same for them.
We'll win no matter what.
I'll win with an immaculate pitch.
I'll return home cheerfully after winning.
THE TENSION LASTS UNTIL THE END
I'll play this game like this is my last.
I'll work together with my boys
to ensure a win.
Let's have fun.
Win or lose, today is the last game.
Like we're preparing for Cheongnyonggi.
Let's focus and do our best. Let's go.
A cheerful clap!
-Come on!
-Come on!
-Let's do this!
-Do this!
THEIR CHANT ECHOES
THROUGH THE STADIUM
I don't know about the other games,
but today's game is
the most important game in the world.
Let's play like
the third game against Dong-eui.
Let's stay focused.
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
This is Choongam's lineup.
Im Jun-ha, Lee Seon-u,
Woo Seung-won, Kim Dong-heon,
Park Chae-ul, Cho Hyeon-min,
Lee Chung-heon, Kim Min-seok,
and Lee Seong-hyeon.
The defense. The outfielders are
Jung Eui-yoon,
Park Yong-taek, and Seo Dong-wook.
And the infielders
are Choi Soo-hyun on third,
Ryu Hyun-in as shortstop,
Jeong Keun-woo on second,
and Lee Hong-ku on first.
And Lee Taek-keun is the catcher.
I'm so darn nervous.
The game starts with Choongam
on the offense.
Today's starting pitcher is Yoo Hee-kwan.
And what you have to keep an eye out for
in today's game is
Lee Taek-keun,
who is playing as a catcher.
It's his first time in 20 years.
Considering the team's circumstances,
Manager Lee had no choice
but to play Lee Taek-keun as the catcher
to win today's game.
I wonder if he would work well
with Yoo Hee-kwan.
That's right.
The third game starts off
with Im Jun-ha making his appearance.
From the last games, his BA is .556.
And Im Jun-ha showed great performance
in yesterday's game as well.
He runs, gets on bases, and even scores.
THE FIRST PITCH DECIDES
THE MOMENTUM OF THE GAME
He hits the first pitch!
-Again?
-It's a Texas Leaguer.
In the front.
He hits the first pitch!
It's a hit left center.
Im Jun-ha, the machine that gets on bases,
is still doing well.
THEY ARE TOO EASY
Nice swing, Jun-ha.
ARE YOU WATCHING, MANAGER LEE?
Good hit.
(HE CLENCHES HIS TEETH)
-Nice!
-Way to go!
How he handled the pitch was so great.
Look how he made contact with that sinker.
ABILITY TO MAKE CONTACT
A very accurate swing
that handled it well.
The outside sinkers are Hee-kwan's
main pitching strategy.
That's right.
Even if you know his pitch,
you can't get the timing right.
But Jun-ha manages to hit it.
No outs with a runner on first.
In yesterday's game, Lee Seon-u
made a hit on his first PA.
THE MANAGER IS SENDING SIGNALS AGAIN
Maybe a bunt?
HE'S UNEASY
He goes for a bunt on the first pitch.
AS EXPECTED, A BUNT
There you go.
HE BREATHS IN
Bunt again.
Texas Leaguer to a bunt.
The tension is filling up the air
in the stadium.
Hong-ku!
You have to go in a bit more for the bunt.
You have to cover the front.
-He's bunting!
-Okay!
It's a bunt!
Let's do this, Seon-u!
It's here!
A pickoff.
Look at him trying.
I think he'll go for another pick-off.
His pickoffs are quick. Be careful.
He's getting ready for a bunt.
COME ON IN!
-It's a fly ball.
-It's flying.
-It's a fly ball.
-It's flying.
He lets it bounce and catches it.
Out on first base.
Run to second!
Nice. One more!
Pass it to second.
It's a fly ball.
He lets it bounce and catches it.
Out on first base.
He's stranded. He's getting run down.
He dashes back to first.
He tags him out!
A PERFECT DOUBLE PLAY!
TAG OUT
IMPRESSED
This is who Yoo Hee-kwan is.
HEE-KWAN, NICE
In that split second,
Hee-kwan made a perfect choice.
As expected, Hee-kwan!
Wow, Hee-kwan.
This is what a pro is.
Nice job, Hee-kwan.
SPEECHLESS DUE TO AN INSANE PLAY
Wow.
-The ball flew, so he let it bounce once.
-Yes.
And he watched first, but he didn't go
to second. So he threw it to first.
And then it was a rundown.
What a play they made.
He made this happen smoothly.
CK Monster's focus in defense
is completely different from yesterday.
First hitter got a hit,
but Hee-kwan brought back the momentum
right away.
Nice job, Hong-ku!
Great job, Hong-ku.
-That's how you do it. Look good.
-Great.
Woo Seung-won is up next.
-Okay!
-Strike!
A low and inside pitch.
What I see in the beginning right now…
I mean, Hee-kwan has always been good.
But Taek-keun's framing is great.
It's the best.
IT'S THE EPITOME OF PERFECT
Watching the Monsters defend,
their eyes are telling me that
they're different today.
I'M COMING, TAEK-KEUN
-Strike!
-Nice!
CAN'T GET AN IDEA
OF THE TYPES OF PITCHES
One last out before the inning ends.
CHOONGAM 0 : 0 MONSTERS
Let's go! Seung-won!
Seung-won!
Swing and miss! Strikeout!
THERE WAS NO USE
HE'S FRUSTRATED
All he needed was three pitches.
He pitches a three-pitch strikeout
against Woo Seung-won.
The first inning is so easy like this.
This is great.
-Pitch well.
-Yes, sir.
Choongam's starting pitcher
is Lee Tae-yeon.
He showed himself in yesterday's game.
He's the pitcher that has
the best velocity and ball movement.
He makes short swings for pitch deception.
He closes his body
and the arm is behind his body,
so the hitters see his arm a bit later.
-It has a strong advantage.
-Yes.
He's an aggressive pitcher.
-He even made PA in yesterday's game.
-That's right.
It's the first hitter, let's focus!
After losing yesterday's game,
-Keun-woo said he was humiliated.
-Right.
-Choongam, let's go!
-Let's go!
-Choongam, let's go!
-Let's go!
First pitch curves in from the outside.
I looked at the ball and thought,
"What is this?"
The ball was hidden,
so I saw the ball late,
which made me a bit anxious.
Keun-woo looked at the first pitch.
This one curved from the outside,
but it's out of the zone.
Let's go!
Nice pitch! Good job.
He knows how much getting on a base
means for the team.
In the front!
He makes contact. A ground ball.
Shortstop fields the ball. To first base.
-He's out on first.
-Okay.
IT SEEMS WE'LL WIN TODAY TOO!
Great job.
A formidable opponent as expected.
The best high school team, Choongam.
He's up against Choi Soo-hyun,
the second hitter.
This is his first time playing
in a starting lineup on this team.
That's right. But Manager Lee
acknowledged his batting skills.
I think he'll be good.
There you go.
It skips off the bat. It's a fly ball.
The catcher, Dong-heon, catches the ball.
2 OUTS
You better stay on your toes.
THIS IS TOO EASY
This is driving me crazy. Damn it.
I'm getting pissed off.
HE'S GETTING FURIOUS
When our hitters thought
that the timing was right and swung,
the timing was slightly off
and they all missed.
So I thought today's game would be tough.
LEE TAE-YEON
PITCHES 6, BALL 3, STRIKES 3
The third hitter, Park Yong-taek, is up.
After the loss yesterday,
he came in today's game
with his mustache shaved.
-That's surprising.
-I know.
Let's go, Tae-yeon!
HE HITS RIGHT AWAY!
SPRINTING WITH ALL HIS MIGHT!
-Go!
-It brushes by the pitcher.
It's slow. Second baseman.
He throws to the first.
And the umpire decides
he's out at the first.
I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS
MANAGER LEE GOES OUT
-Safe.
-Instant replay.
-Right now…
-Safe.
WHAT?
A request for instant replay.
Park Yong-taek's hustle play.
He was very quick.
He stepped on the base first.
HE WAS FASTER!
He was right. The decision was overturned.
The captain's sprint.
CK Monsters finally go out after two outs.
And now, batter four,
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
It's a big one.
It's a strong one.
It's about time we see one.
FILLED WITH SPITE
He'll hit a big one.
WHAT'S WITH THE MOOD?
Park Yong-taek ran out after two outs.
Will Jung Eui-yoon maintain the momentum?
HE HITS!
It's a hit. It flies out sharply.
It flies out next to the third.
GOOD!
Park Yong-taek is at second.
Two singles after two outs.
CK Monsters are getting the runners out.
See? My gut feelings were right.
When I feel like he'll hit one, he does.
The Monsters are at two outs,
but the players aren't losing their focus.
Park Yong-taek's sprint
got them here right now.
-You're right.
-Yes.
Runners at second and first. Batter five.
Designated hitter, Jeong Seong-hoon.
If CK Monsters lose today,
their 70 percent win rate breaks.
Let's go. Come on, Seong-hoon.
Will batter five, Jeong Seong-hoon,
make the first point?
HE HITS!
It's a hit to the right.
The right fielder runs.
PLEASE
-I can't see it.
-It's far.
Go over.
Catch it!
To the right. The right fielder runs.
The right fielder catches.
IM JUN-HA'S DEFENSE MAKES 3 OUTS
Right before the fence,
Im Jun-ha steals another single.
THE DREAMS OF SCORING HAVE SHATTERED
The inning ends.
CK Monsters end the inning
without scoring.
-He is good.
-Yes.
-It bent out like this.
-The defense is great.
What a sound team.
THEY REALLY ARE A SOUND TEAM
It's now the top of the second.
Choongam High is batting.
Batter four is at bat,
Kim Dong-heon.
He was the most noticeable player
among Choongam High.
-It's Kim Dong-heon.
-Yes.
I was on the mound in that situation,
which means I must stop them.
I plan on striking out
three batters in a row.
Good.
The ball flies high.
CATCH IT… CATCH IT!
-Call!
-Call it out!
It's in the air of Gocheok Dome.
The shortstop catches it in the infield.
-Good.
-Very good.
No runner, one out.
He's up against batter five, Park Chae-ul.
He'll hit a big one.
How will he pitch?
Good.
He hits with the tip of the bat.
The shortstop catches.
Ryu Hyun-in throws it
exactly to the first.
ONLY ONE MORE OUT TO GO
Two outs.
Hee-kwan throws lots of change-ups,
so it often skips off the bat.
Not many hit in the dead center.
Even if they do, it won't go over.
They hit it, but it never goes past here.
Eui-yoon, you're too far away. Come here.
Dong-wook, come up.
(EVEN MORE?)
Okay. Keep that line.
THE CAPTAIN PULLS UP THE OUTFIELDERS
Batter six Cho Hyeon-min is at bat.
-He stood out on defense.
-Yes.
But his batting average is 0,375.
One out to go.
Hyeon-min.
It's a hit.
Man.
-It's a hit.
-It's a hit.
It flies up high.
-That's it!
-He did it.
It's going.
-It's far.
-Why are we so up forward?
Go. Keep going.
It flies up high.
The right fielder follows.
It drops, but he cannot catch it.
-Okay! Run faster!
-Okay! Go!
UNTIL 3RD BASE!
IMPOSSIBLE
He's at the second,
and he doesn't slow down.
Faster!
Go! Faster!
The hitter and runner, Cho Hyeon-min,
reaches the third safely.
Choongam High wants to win this game too.
THEY LET HIM COME TO THE 3RD
Why is our defense up there?
A triple after two outs.
Yoo Hee-kwan!
A TRIPLE AT 2 OUTS
Hyeon-min, good one.
Good job.
Great job, Hyeon-min.
We were too forward.
It's to cover the front.
If it goes out, it's a triple.
It's too forward.
FRUSTRATED
We were too forward.
Yes, it's too forward.
Dong-wook.
GO BACK FURTHER
MOVE THE DEFENSE
Dong-wook, you can come forward.
-The bench.
-Just take a hint.
THE ORDERS ARE DIFFERENT
Dong-wook, it's fine at two outs.
THE DEFENSE IS STILL FORWARD
WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
It's two outs,
but they can lose a point now.
A hit can cost them a point.
Cho Hyeon-min is on the third.
Batter seven, Lee Chung-heon is at bat.
RUNNER AT 3RD,
BATTER LEE CHUNG-HEON
Lee Taek-keun.
He blocks the ball that falls out.
PERFECT BLOCKING IN A TIME OF CRISIS
-Nice blocking.
-What was that?
That was an important block.
The runner is at third right now.
If it rolled out, they would've scored.
And he blocked the ball
and dropped it inside the box.
That could've been the best block
even in professional leagues.
TAEK-KEUN HELPED HEE-KWAN
Should I change this?
He's wasting his energy.
HEE-KWAN IS WASTING HIS ENERGY!
Two outs, runner at third.
He's already out of energy.
Yoo Hee-kwan is about to lose a point.
WILL HE OVERCOME THIS CRISIS?
IT'S ANOTHER HIT
Okay.
It's a hit to the right.
NO…
-He lost it.
-It's gone.
Okay.
It's a hit to the right.
Seo Dong-wook goes back.
He couldn't catch it!
HE COULDN'T CATCH IT AGAIN!
The runner at third scores.
-Run quickly!
-Run quickly!
He passes through the second again.
BUT THE BALL IS TOO FAR AWAY
To the third base. He makes it.
Choongam High scores first.
-Yes!
-Yes!
NICE, CHUNG-HEON
MONSTERS LOST ONE TOO EASILY
-They're too forward.
-The defense.
MONSTERS LOST ONE TOO EASILY
Why is the defense up forward?
WHY IS THE DEFENSE UP FORWARD?
Yes, you're too forward.
THE FIELDERS TURN INTO A CRISIS
You're too forward.
Let's go back.
Manager Lee only left Yoo Hee-kwan
during yesterday's game.
He trusted him as a starting pitcher,
but he loses a point first.
AN UNEXPECTED CRISIS
Two outs, runner at third.
CHOONGAM 1 : 0 MONSTERS
Designated batter, Kim Min-seok is at bat.
Will Yoo Hee-kwan get over this crisis?
HE CANNOT LOSE MORE POINTS
The crisis is right before him.
HE HITS!
He pushes through. Second baseman,
Jeong Keun-woo catches.
First base, he's out. Three outs.
Choongam High hits two triples
after two outs,
and takes the first point. One to zero.
The game begins to shake.
-Hey.
-Okay.
Maybe he was shaken up.
That defense was like grade school.
HIS ANGER BREAKS OUT
HE'S MORE ENRAGED
OVER THE POINT HE LOST TODAY
Things don't look so good in the dugout.
SIGH…
-Could we have caught it otherwise?
-What?
If we were in the regular formation,
could we have caught it?
-Well…
-Probably the first. Not the second.
They were really close from here.
All of the outfielders.
It's to block missed hits.
But it was too close.
Hee-kwan, sorry.
Why were you all so passionate today?
Why was the defense forward?
They kept missing it. Nothing went over.
If we miss,
they're fast, so it becomes a triple.
Just make it a single.
Hee-kwan, I kept pulling it up,
-so don't be so angry.
-Okay.
We'll do defense for long hits, then.
-Yes.
-Just ordinary defense.
We won't let them score now.
The bottom of the second.
CK Monsters loses a point first.
The problem is that they shouldn't
let this moment of loss be prolonged.
No.
They need to go out quickly
and score quickly.
-That's what they need.
-Yes.
TAEK-KEUN MUST START CHASING
-Strike!
-He lifts up the low pitch.
Kim Dong-heon's framing
creates one strike.
Good pitch.
-Strike.
-Another strike.
Nice pitch. Goodness.
It's only the beginning,
but Lee Tae-yeon's aggressive pitches are
quite charming.
Then how will he pitch this time?
-Strike.
-It's a fastball.
Hey, nice pitch.
A fastball toward the torso.
It's a strikeout.
Lee Tae-yeon gets
his first strikeout today
against Lee Taek-keun.
This feels chilly.
One out.
Batter seven, Seo Dong-wook.
The first home run of the show was
hit by Seo Dong-wook.
He hit it here.
CK Monsters is expecting a lot
from Seo Dong-wook today.
HE HITS!
He hits it like a throw. It's slow.
-First baseman.
-He's fast.
He waits and catches.
Tagged out. Two outs.
MONSTERS CAN'T RISE ABOVE CHOONGAM
Lee Hong-ku is at bat.
Manager Lee announced
Lee Taek-keun is the catcher
as soon as yesterday's game ended.
I'm sure it killed Lee Hong-ku's pride.
However, a professional player
must stay focused and play.
A PRO PLAYER MUST RISE ABOVE
-He hits.
-Foul.
It's a foul.
He chooses to hit it immediately
instead of watching.
HONG-KU HITS WITH CONFIDENCE
Hong-ku, show what you got today.
Hong-ku, you said you'd hit two home runs.
-Strike!
-Okay.
I wanted to show that I have changed.
That was my main focus.
That's the only motivation I have.
The count is against the batter.
What will Lee Hong-ku do?
Swing and miss, strikeout!
SWING AND MISS, STRIKEOUT
Come on.
THE GAME WON'T WORK OUT AS THEY WISH
Strikeout, a grounder,
then another strikeout.
Pitcher Lee Tae-yeon
ends the inning after three batters.
-Man, Tae-yeon.
-Yes.
-Will you keep surprising me?
-Yes.
-My gosh, I was surprised today too.
-Yes.
Wait as much as you can,
and hit when it comes.
-Okay?
-Yes!
Good.
NICE, LET'S GO
The top of the third inning,
Choongam High is batting.
After the second inning,
the outfielders are out in the back
-for the third inning.
-Yes, you're right.
Dong-wook, come back a bit more.
Let's cut off the long hits.
Cut off long hits.
First batter, Lee Seong-hyeon.
BATTER 9, LEE SEONG-HYEON
A called game against a high school team?
Did the Monsters imagine this
when we first began?
YESTERDAY'S RESULT WAS UNIMAGINABLE
Yesterday's game ended like that,
and Yoo Hee-kwan loses
the first point to Choongam
from the start.
CHOONGAM SCORED FIRST
HE HITS!
It drops.
Ryu Hyun-in dashes at the grounder.
And a fast throw.
-Excellent.
-He's out.
A splendid defense unfolds on the field.
NICE, SPLENDID DEFENSE
That was a form of art.
My jaws just dropped.
He caught it with his glove,
pulled it out, then threw. It was fast.
That was top tier.
And I want to commend Lee Hong-ku.
That's called the scoop. It was perfect.
He brought up his team's spirit
-thanks to the great defense.
-Let's do this!
Here comes the bomb.
There's our nuclear bomb.
It's batter one, Im Jun-ha.
He hit a single
while he was first at-bat today.
On this show,
Im Jun-ha's batting average is
amazingly at 0,6.
He can't get caught. He's not struck out.
-Good one, Hee-kwan!
-Hey, focus!
MUST STOP THE 0,6 BATTER
HE HITS!
It goes into the net. A foul.
FOUL
Nice swing. Nice try.
Jun-ha, good. Let's go.
STRIKE
IT'S NOT EASY
TO HIT HEE-KWAN'S PITCH
Nice.
We must trust Yoo Hee-kwan,
the best pitcher of the Monsters.
-You're right.
-Yes.
CHOONGAM 1 : 0 MONSTERS
Throw it in there.
-Strike.
-It's in at the edge.
Strikeout looking.
Yoo Hee-kwan's second strikeout.
Even after playing many games,
Yoo Hee-kwan is
a pitcher who controls the game.
He makes sure the game stays
in similar flows.
He's the best pitcher.
The timing is off.
No runner, two outs.
Batter two, Lee Seon-u.
BATTER 2, LEE SEON-U
HE HITS!
Okay, take your time.
OUT?
OUT? OR ON BASE?
-Take your time.
-Okay.
Lee Hong-ku catches the low ball.
-He goes in himself.
-That's perfect.
First baseman, Lee Hong-ku.
He shows perfect fielding.
Yoo Hee-kwan ends the top of the third
-by striking out three batters.
-Okay.
-Nice, Hee-kwan.
-Nice.
-Nice.
-Good.
NICE DEFENSE
Hong-ku's defense is great.
-I told you. He's the first baseman.
-Yes.
The way he plays at the first base will
make him win the Golden Glove Award.
Bottom of the third.
CK Monsters are batting.
Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.
He brought up the team's spirit
by a timely throw.
Once we brought the game
in our favor, we must do well on batting.
Let's score one. We have to go.
We can't lag behind.
Let's go.
THE MONSTERS ARE DESPERATE
TO RUN OUT
He hits the first pitch.
It's a foul.
Great job.
-Good.
-Hyun-in, doing well.
THIS TIME, I'LL HIT!
Hyun-in, you have to go out.
FINALLY, IT'S A HIT!
It's a hit. It goes down the center.
Ryu Hyun-in delivers his moves.
Hyun-in is good.
Good.
Good, first draft. Okay.
Ryu Hyun-in is excellent in doing his part
-when the team is troubled.
-Yes.
Jeong Keun-woo is next at bat.
What kind of strategy
will Manager Lee use?
MANAGER YUOP SENDS SIGNALS
His left hand holds the bat long.
Jeong Keun-woo is in the bunt pose.
It's a short one.
He must send Ryu Hyun-in
to the second base.
THAT WAY, HE CAN SCORE
Ryu Hyun-in at first,
Jeong Keun-woo at bat.
KEUN-WOO PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE
Look before you hit.
-Okay.
-He's keeping the first base in check.
Good one.
-He switches. It's a hit.
-Catch it!
Go!
LET'S GO, KEUN-WOO!
-He switches. It's a hit.
-Catch it!
The first baseman throws.
-He's out at the second base.
-Okay.
CK Monsters' strategy fails.
The first runner is out.
One out,
runner still at first.
Yes, it's disappointing for CK Monsters.
They needed to make an attack
when he could score.
But that strategy just failed.
I wonder if Jeong Keun-woo will
run right away.
Batter two, Choi Soo-hyun is at bat.
BATTER 2, CHOI SOO-HYUN
HE HITS!
The ball hits the pitcher and bounces out.
The second baseman to the shortstop,
then to the first.
The first base is safe.
-Safe.
-But the first runner is out.
Two outs, runner at first.
-Two outs?
-Two outs.
Choongam High defends
smoothly yet sharply.
It's now Park Yong-taek.
Park Yong-taek hit a single
when he was first at bat.
He must show his raging power,
-Captain Park Yong-taek.
-Yes.
The captain of Monsters.
Hit one single.
Let's go.
HE THROWS TO THE 2ND?
The runner begins to run.
The ball goes to the second.
HE'S OUT
What? What happened?
He avoids getting tagged and steals.
HE AVOIDS GETTING TAGGED
AND STEALS THE BASE
Choi Soo-hyun
successfully steals the base.
As he slid in, he twisted his body
at the very last second.
-He twisted his body.
-I see, he dodged him.
-Runner at second, he can score.
-Come out.
We don't know what will happen now.
The runner can score now.
Park Yong-taek is at at.
THEY NEED ONE BIG HIT!
I think he'll do it.
Tae-yeon, stop them.
STRIKE
-A low hit.
-The bat spins.
Uncaught strike to the first.
Lee Tae-yeon finishes the inning.
Lee Tae-yeon and Kim Dong-heon battery
-aren't easy opponents to beat.
-Nice pitch!
He wouldn't usually swing at that.
We can relax
since it's just one point difference.
Everyone feels burdened.
Monsters are
still unable to beat Choongam.
Top of the fourth, Choongam is batting.
Woo Seung-won is the first at-bat.
BATTER 3, WOO SEUNG-WON
HE MUST STOP CHOONGAM ONCE AGAIN
HE HITS!
The third baseman catches.
Choi Soo-hyun catches it.
It was in front of him.
Choi Soo-hyun easily catches it
at the third base.
YOU'RE DOING GREAT, SOO-HYUN
He's doing great.
Why can't I get such hits?
A good hit is nice.
CHUCKLES
Oh Ju-won joined us urgently,
but other pitchers pitched
quite a number yesterday
other than Yoo Hee-kwan.
Yes, so Yoo Hee-kwan must
pitch for a long time,
reducing the number of pitches
as much as he can.
Batter four, Kim Dong-heon.
CHOONGAM'S CAPTAIN
-Let's go!
-Let's do this.
-Let's score.
-This is a big one.
Dong-heon, let's make a hit.
IT'S A HIT!
-Let's go!
-Go!
Another triple?
He hits. It's center-left.
The ball drops.
Come in quickly!
The ball continues to roll.
Kim Dong-heon goes to the second.
NO, YOU CAN'T!
And he stops.
KIM DONG-HEON REACHES 2ND!
Kim Dong-heon hits a double
-after one out.
-Nice!
CHOONGAM CHARGES FURIOUSLY
LET'S GO, LET'S FIGHT
Let's go!
-Nice!
-Go!
MONSTERS ARE IN A DANGER
OF LOSING ANOTHER POINT
The problem with CK Monsters is this.
Yoo Hee-kwan hit one out
in the fourth inning,
but he allowed three hits.
And three of them were long hits.
They were.
1 OUT, RUNNER AT 2ND
Chae-ul, I think you'll do this.
And batter five, Park Chae-ul is next.
CHOONGAM CAN SCORE
Park Chae-ul is at bat.
He hits the first pitch.
It flies sharply to the back.
It flies across center-left.
NO
THE RUNNER AT THE 2ND BEGINS TO SPRINT!
Over the third!
HE WON'T STOP AND RETURNS HOME!
The runner at the second
passes through the third and returns.
Two to zero.
Choongam's main batters score
yet another point.
A timely hit by batter five, Park Chae-ul.
GOOD JOB, CHAE-UL!
The trusted pitcher, Yoo Hee-kwan,
is starting to falter.
The score is two to zero.
We're losing.
It feels like it.
I really hope we win.
If we lose this game,
it'll be one win and two losses,
which means we can't play them again.
All I could think of
was that we must win today.
I was very determined.
He's not okay right now.
He's completely pissed off.
Yoo Hee-kwan allowed
five valid hits today.
There are still two outs left this inning.
ONE MORE HIT, ONE MORE POINT LOST
Kim Dong-heon and Park Chae-ul
doubled consecutively.
Batter six Cho Hyeon-min is at bat.
Get him. You have to stop him.
THE MONSTERS ARE IN A CRISIS
WILL THEY SAVE THE TEAM
FROM LOSING TWICE IN A ROW?
ALL BASES ARE LOADED
When Yoo Hee-kwan is the starting pitcher,
we've never seen such a score difference
until the midpoint.
The impossible has just happened.
Yes, it's a hit.
MONSTERS GET LED BY CHOONGAM HIGH
Yoo Hee-kwan is suffering more than ever.
THE ACE PLAYER IS FURIOUS
HE MIGHT BREAK THE CAMERA
EVEN THE TRUSTED ACE FALLS
Darn it.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?
AN INTIMIDATING ATMOSPHERE IN THE DUGOUT
It's not easy for Manager Lee
to figure out this game.
THE RELIEF PITCHER OF THE MONSTERS
I USED UP EVERY DROP OF ENERGY I HAD
He can't hit that.
STRIKEOUT
I HAVEN'T FELT THIS NERVOUS
SINCE WHEN I PLAYED AS A ROOKIE
No one, even the deity of baseball,
could have fathomed this situation.
All bases are loaded,
and Park Yong-taek is at bat.
This isn't an easy game to watch.
